Ok i am kinda new to PHP and need some help

i am trying to accomplish is in the first string below i need $str to include 'realcomp:<and our agents MLS ID>

the MLS ID is coming from our database where REALCOMP is just the word or text

i know the string at the bottom will work if i manually put in the <?php $str = 'REALCOMP:<Manually putting in MLS ID here> but i need it to come from our database


<?php $str = 'REALCOMP:' echo $agentInfo['mlsnAgentID']; ?>


<a href="http://we.showingdesk.com/Redirector.as ... &ID2=<?php echo $agentInfo['mlsnAgentID']; ?>&SIG=<?php echo base64_encode($str); ?>&KEY=900499-48334:108" target="_blank"><img src="images/logos/ShowingDeskWE.jpg" width="190" height="46" border="0">[/url]

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\century21today.com\team\agentTools2.php on line 117

...this is the error i am getting with that previous code i know the problem lies in the area highlighted in red

<?php $str = 'REALCOMP:' echo $agentInfo['mlsnAgentID']; ?>

two problems here..

1. You cannot echo in a string assignment.
2. Lack of string concatenation

Your end result would look like

Code: Select all

<?php $str = 'REALCOMP:'. $agentInfo['mlsnAgentID']; ?>
I would suggest you revise Strings in the manual
