Problem with cancatenation operators

[dbarasuk]

Hi!

I am having an unusual problem with strings. Can anybody experienced with strings tell me where resides the error in the next echo command, please?

echo "<p>".substr($row['content'], 0, $lastSpace)."(<a href='article.php?article_id=<?php echo $row['article_id'];?>'>Read More </a></p>)";

the error type i get while running the page containing that code is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in C:\htdocs\Darius\includes\home_format_admin.php on line 45

the line 45 indicated is the one on which the previous echo command is.

Any suggestion?

Hi,

The problem is you have php tags in your echo. Should be:

echo "<p>".substr($row['content'], 0, $lastSpace)."(<a href='article.php?article_id=".$row['article_id']."'>Read More </a></p>)";
