At least two ways:

1)

Code: Select all

echo "<a href=\"http://www.google.com\">www.google.com</a>";
2)

Code: Select all

?>
<a href="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</a>
<?

My favorite...

Code: Select all

echo '<a href="htp://www.google.com">www.google.com</a>';
Then you don't have to escape your quotes.

Cool, I didn't know you could do that! I normally do it with single quotes in the html. I guess thats dangerous for browser compatability though.

Code: Select all

echo "<a href='htp://www.google.com'>www.google.com</a>";

If I want to output html is php, I use echo and <....>....</> ?

what do I do if I want to output a "<" such as if I am creating an xml doc ?

for example, i want to ouptut somthing like

<Name> MyName </Name> ?

thanks
