Getting parse error while defining the html href tag in php

Question

Can anybody help me out here? How can I write this correctly?

echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id="$patent_id"' >Edit</a>;</td>"; 

I am getting error that

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$patent_id' (T_VARIABLE), expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\moduletwo\patent_view.php

Answer 1

Error is at $patent_id you're not concatenating it right try this

 echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id=".$patent_id."' >Edit</a></td>";

Answer 2

echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id=".$patent_id."' >Edit</a>;</td>";

Answer 3

Replace your

echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id="$patent_id"' >Edit</a>;</td>"; 

With

echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id=".$patent_id."' >Edit</a></td>"; 

Answer 4

This is a very common syntax error. You are facing concatenation problem.

You can solve this by this:

echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id=$patent_id' >Edit</a>;</td>";

or this

echo "<td><a type='button' href='patent_edit.php?id=".$patent_id."' >Edit</a>;</td>";
