Thread: url constructed with php in a text link

Hello Dear colleagues from Vodahost/BlueVoda forum,

I am placing in the URL field of a text link the following code:
<?php echo $url_1; ?>

and at the "Start of page" of the option "Page HTML" the following code:

<?php
$url_1 = "form_1.php";
$url_2 = "form_2.php";
$url_3 = "form_3.php";
?>

The problem starts when I click somewhere else in the page after I get out of the link menu.

For example I have a link which is LIST but it will transform itself to ">LIST underlined.(with the "> before the word LIST)

I am sure this must have suceeded to someone already.

Can someone help and explain me what I maybe doing wrong.

Thanks in advance,
pipesportugal

Add the $ sign (see above) . Please provide a link to the page.

Hello there navaldesign,

Thank You for the fast answer.

In fact in the example I provided here I forgot the $ sign, but in reality I was placing it, as You can see at:

Have You ever tried ?

Hello,

After checking what happened at html level, the bluevoda software is assuming that the > (closure of php tag), is indeed the closure of the "<a href" tag.

Navaldesign this must have happened to You before...

Makes me remember of that trick You taught me on the combobox, remember the starting "<>" and then ending with "?" only ??

Is there a trick to deceive the html ?

Best regards,

You are using text to create the link ? please preview the page. When in preview, or published, it should not create any problem. Inside BV the > appears, when published it doesn't

Hello,

Even if it publishes correctly it's still not pleasant for the eyes (mine at least) to see something like this:

Maybe BV could find a character like the \ in php that would "warn" the software that the following character must be interpreted as one more not special character without any special meaning.

Navaldesign, thanks for Your help anyway,
