I have a master/detail page setup that is working properly. I am trying ot add a Link to only a few of the detaill pages but not to show up on others. I tried to set just do the html in a text field but It owuld not come out as link. It did underline it like a link.
I also tried to do a If statement but am getting parse errors when I add the html code.
<? if ($row_detail['link'] {
echo "<a herf=$row_detail['link']>Expanded Detail</a>

I get a parse error of unexpected <
Any body have any idea if this is possible and how I might get it to work
Thanks
Tim

It's href, NOT herf. Since you have misspelled it every single time in
both this post and your original one, that is almost certainly the
reason it's not creating a link.

You need to surround the PHP variable in curly braces because it
contains an associative array element:

echo "<a href='{$row_detail['link']}'>Expanded Detail</a>";

Looks like I need to get my eyes checked again.
Thank you so much . I spent too much time staring at that and just didn't catch it.
Have a good one
Tim
I'll buy your book for the help (-:
