Re: [PHP] Parsing... the hell of PHP
$url = a href =\.$url.\.HtmlEntities($url).\./a; It appears the parse error is at the end of your opening link tag, so PHP doesn't know what .HtmlEntities($url) means. I'm at work so I can't test it, but that appears the culprit to me. $url = a href=\$url\ . HtmlEntities($url) . /a; should suffice.

Re: [PHP] Parsing... the hell of PHP
Glad to have helped (though someone else beat me to the punch with the right answer!) You'll get the hang of it -- the way I learned is to write out your tag that you'd like to use like this: a href=$urltext here/a Then go through and escape the characters that need it: a href=\$url\text here/a You can place variables into a string, but if you are using a function to work on that variable, you must concatenate it. a href=\$url\ . htmlentities($url) . /a; (needs concatenation) a href=\$url\$url/a; (no function used, no concatenation necessary) Good luck!
