Echo and echo in PHP

Question

How to echo the code below in php?

<a href="cust_room/assign_room.php?cust_id=<?php echo $row_customer['cust_id']; ?>">Assign Room</a>

I did try this, but got an error.

echo "<a href="cust_room/assign_room.php?cust_id=<?php echo $row_customer['cust_id']; ?>">Assign Room</a>";

Answer 1

you cant use <?php in side <?php

try the following code:

echo "<a href="cust_room/assign_room.php?cust_id={$row_customer['cust_id']}">Assign Room</a>";

instead of:

echo "<a href="cust_room/assign_room.php?cust_id=<?php echo $row_customer['cust_id']; ?>">Assign Room</a>";
