Make text a link in php inside div

#1

Hi there :slight_smile: I need some help with something that most would probably find very easy, but for me, it’s hard, lol. I am using a script and trying to do some customization. For example, I want to make this text inside this div clickable. Can someone provide me the correct me ?

$result['html'] = '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars($amount) . " satoshi was sent to you on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"".$this->check_url."\">$sname</a>. Service provided by example.com</div>";

I need to have the example.com be a link. I appreciate any help you can provide.

like this you mean?


$result['html'] = '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars($amount) . ' satoshi was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="' . $this->check_url . '">$sname</a>. Service provided by example.com</div>';

Hi, thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it. I just tried your line of code, and it has changed nothing. I will upload a picture, for example. In the photo, you can see CryptoBagGiver.com is not clickable like faucetpay.io, Thanks.

The way to solve this would be to lookup the syntax for an anchor/link tag, if not already known - <a>: The Anchor element - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN then produce the html markup that does what you want. I recommend you try to do this yourself, thereby learning how to do it, rather then to just repeat something someone else posts for you to copy.

I tried, but I keep getting syntax error, looks like there’s a unique way to insert it in this line of code.

#6

You would need to post your attempted code, and the error you were getting, in order to get help with what is wrong.

#7

Dont post mis-matched examples either.

Your provided example does not match your image example. I dont recall seeing you needed ‘example.com’ made the link.


$result['html'] = '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars($amount) . ' satoshi was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="' . $this->check_url . '">$sname</a>. Service provided by <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a></div>';

As phdr mentions… you really should give things a ‘try’ yourself… this is basic HTML 101…

Hi, thanks for the reply, am sorry for the mismatch I forgot to change the code when I took the screenshot, At first I used example.com before the screenshot to not make it look like I am spamming but I did not think about it when I took a screenshot. Alright now onto the help :slight_smile:

Your code works no more syntax errors but I see you had to change a few things I would not consider basic HTML :slight_smile: . I see that this line…

. htmlspecialchars($amount) . " satoshi was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="".$this->check_url."">$sname.

changed to this…

. htmlspecialchars($amount) . ’ satoshi was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="" . $this->check_url . '">$sname.

and that as stopped the syntax error when adding a simple href.

Now I have a new issue :slight_smile: The code I provided is not the only one I need to change there’s another line that’s slightly different but I will try to understand what you had to do and try to apply it to this line…

$result[‘html_coin’] = ‘

’ . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), ‘0’), ‘.’)) . " " . $this->currency . " was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="".$this->check_url."">$sname. Faucet provided by example.com
";

Thanks.

The general rule/understanding here is:

If you have a dynamic value/variable… you need to break the string, concatenate the dynamic variable, and then continue on with the string.

'Some string here'
vs
'Some string here' . $variableName . ' with added dynamic variable added';

Note:

the above posted line of code is also wrong then… IF you need $sname parsed… if so… then you need ot do this:

$result['html'] = '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars($amount) . ' satoshi was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="' . $this->check_url . '">' .$sname .'</a>. Service provided by <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a></div>';

And the comment about normal HTML 101 was about the ‘example.com’ reference…

That was nothign but normal HTML

example.com
vs
<a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a>

Thank you for the explanation really appreciate it :slight_smile:

Your last line of trouble…

1.) NEVER (ever) use fancy quotes… only use double quotes (") or -normal- single quotes (’)
2.) You need to learn/understand the difference between, how/when (and how it affects things) using single or double quotes. You have to follow suit and you can NOT co-mingle them

If you start with a single ’ or double " quote… you must end with that. When you break up your ‘string’ to add in dynamic variables… you need to break the string using the same quote you started with:

Compare the differences/changes


$result[‘html_coin’] = ‘

’ . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), ‘0’), ‘.’)) . " " . $this->currency . " was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="".$this->check_url."">$sname. Faucet provided by example.com

";

vs

$result['html_coin'] = '' . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), '0'), '.')) . " " . $this->currency . ' was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="' . $this->check_url . '">' . $sname . 'Faucet provided by <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a>';

Hi, for the other line I need to fix would this be correct…

From

$result['html_coin'] = '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), '0'), '.')) . " " . $this->currency . " was sent to you on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"".$this->check_url."\">$sname</a>. Faucet provided by example.com</div>";

to

$result['html_coin'] = '<div class="alert alert-success">' . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), '0'), '.')) . " " . $this->currency . ' was sent to you on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"".$this->check_url."\">$sname</a>. Service provided by <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a></div>';

All I did was a change from " to ’ just before was sent to…

Now am trying to understand what you recommended regarding the $name going from this

. ‘">$sname. to . ‘">’ .$sname .’.

For the $name do I need to do this? the code is from a script and it’s like this all over the place.

I also noticed this

" href=" was changed to this href="’

Can you help me understand what the backslash does and why it’s removed?

He’s not. This is due to the forum software.

@DGTAL, please use bbcode [code][/code] tags around your code, instead of block-quotes. This will cause the code to be highlighted and formatted as code without the quotes being shown as smart/curly quotes.

#14

Ok, thank you for the information I was trying to do that but could not find the button on the editor :slight_smile:

#15

Was looking ok I think until you got here:

' was sent to you on <a target=\"_blank\" 
href=\"".$this->check_url."\">$sname</a>. Service provided 
by <a href="http://example.com" 
target="_blank">example.com</a></div>';

You started with a single quote… then break/stop the string using " to attempt to add in the PHP var.

The backslahes are not needed. (in this instance at least)… but if you were using " (double quotes) to declare your string, and you need to have a " inside your string… you would use a backslash to escape it… so it would not be ‘seen’ as the end of the quote (per se`)…

You have an example posted above you can use to compare.

Hi, I spoke too soon :frowning:

When I said your code worked, I was referring this off my editor, not pointing out the syntax error, but when I went to try the function, the name thing shows on the website like this…
$name

I think il leave this as standard text. My head going to explode, lol

#17

You missed the update (which was done almost ASAP I believe)

you can go back and check the comparison as well.

And this should be a GREAT test for you to fix. its VERY simple. If you want that $sname variable to not be STRING/TEXT (but really show the variable value)…

Then you would split the string… (add variable) and then concatenate the strong again to continue on.


$result['html_coin'] = '' . htmlspecialchars(rtrim(rtrim(sprintf("%.8f", $amount/100000000), '0'), '.')) . " " . $this->currency . ' was sent to you on <a target="_blank" href="' . $this->check_url . '">' . $sname . ' Faucet provided by <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a>';

VERY simple:

 $sname 
vs
' . $sname . '
