PHP5 - Use PHP to auto generate link around image pulled from database

I have dynamically created links that attach themselves to information pulled from the database.

Code:

echo "<a href= 'http://www.website.com/test/link.php?field=".urlencode($imgrow['data'] ) . "'><h3>$imgrow[data]</h3></a>";

The above works. I wanted to do the same for the following thumbnails:

Code:

 echo "<img src='".$showimage."' height='203px' width='135px' />";

What is the code to create an auto-generated link around that image? I tried

Code:

echo "<a href= 'http://www.website/link.php?field=".urlencode(img src='".$showimage"' height='10px' width='50px' />) . "'>$showimage</a>";

but am pretty new at this and can't get it right.

HTML tags are an entirely separate language, and none of them use parentheses. It's all angle brackets.

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<a href= 'http://www.website.com/test/link.php?field=".urlencode($imgrow['data'] ) . "'><img src='".$showimage."' height='203px' width='135px' /></a>";

I took the code in your second example, everything inside the beginning and ending quotes, and pasted it over the <h3> tag in your first example.

Excellent! I'm still working on that other blank page thing. Going back through my history to find that other solution. I certainly hope it's as easy a solution as I remember.
