Links in php code

[whatalotofrubbish]

The following code lists countries and associated clubs:

<?php

$Current = $row_clubset['country_id']; // initialise variables

  echo '<p>' . $row_clubset['country_id'] . '<blockquote>'; // print the first country and set a block quote.

  do{

      // if it is not the same country, close the blockquote, print the Country  open a new blockquote and print the club name followed by a break

if ($Current<>$row_clubset['country_id']) echo  '</blockquote> <p>' . $row_clubset['country_id'] . '</P> <blockquote>'.'Visit the '.  $row_clubset['club_name'] . '<br>' ;

// else just print the club name followed by a break

else echo 'Visit the '.$row_clubset['club_name'] . '<br>' ;

// Set the current country to the value of the current country

$Current = $row_clubset['country_id'];

// now get the next record if there are any to get.

  } while ($row_clubset = mysql_fetch_assoc($clubset)); ?>

The output is as follows:

Germany

     Visit the Berlin Club

     Visit the Hanover Club

France

          Visit the Paris Club

I need to convert the "Visit" into a link..

The link should be like this:

<a href="viewclubs.php">visit the</a> without  a parameter.

And it produces this code, which does create the link and works fine but does not pass a parameter.to the next page.

if ($Current<>$row_clubset['country_id']) echo  '</blockquote> <p>' . $row_clubset['country_id'] . '</P> <blockquote>'.'<a href="viewclubs.php">visit the</a> '.  $row_clubset['club_name'] . '<br>' ;

The link should include a parameter and be like this:

<a href="viewclubs.php?pick=<?php echo $row_clubset['club_index']; ?>">Visit the </a>

When I wrap this link around the existing 'Visit the', I get the following line of code:

if ($Current<>$row_clubset['country_id']) echo  '</blockquote> <p>' . $row_clubset['country_id'] . '</P> <blockquote>'.'<a href="viewclubs.php?pick=<?php echo $row_clubset['club_index']; ?>">Visit the</a> '.  $row_clubset['club_name'] . '<br>' ;

This throws the following  error > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

I think that the probelm is caused by too many or the wrong sort of inverted commas of various sorts but I cannot work it out. Can anyone show me what is wrong?

I solved the problem in a way by using a different approach:

<table >

<?php do { ?>

  <tr>

    <td> </td>

    <td><?php if ($current<> $row_clubset['country_id']) echo $row_clubset['country_id']; ?></td>

    <td><?php echo $row_clubset['club_name']; ?></td>

    <td><a href="viewclubs.php?club_index=<?php echo $row_clubset['club_index']; ?>">View</a></td>

  </tr>

  <?php

    $current = $row_clubset['country_id'];

     } while ($row_clubset = mysql_fetch_assoc($clubset)); ?>

</table>

However, Dreamweaver attempts to interpret this as a repeat region server behaviour, which it basically is, as it uses similar code.

As a result, a red exclamation mark appears in the server behaviour panel.

I deleted the behaviour and then inserted my own code. Dreamweaver again recognised it as a behaviour.

The code validates and works fine, so I will just have to remember to ignore the exclamation mark if I ever need to edit the page.
