Re: Displaying a html line as html

Jochem - Here is the function: /* Make page path */ function make_page_path($page_string, $script_name) {

    $parts = explode('|', $page_string);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($parts); $i++) {
      if ($i == 0) {
        $page_path = '&lt;a href="' . $script_name . '"&gt;' . $parts[$i] . '&lt;/a&gt;';
      } else {
        $page_path = $page_path . '->' . '&lt;a href="' . $script_name . '"&gt;' . $parts[$i] . '&lt;/a&gt;';
      }
    }

//print("Page_path: " . $page_path . "<br>");

    return $page_path;

} Here is the executing code: $page_string = make_page_string($page_string, "Search"); $script_string = make_script_string($script_string, "search.php"); print("Page_string: " . $page_string . "<br>"); print("Script_string: " . $script_string . "<br>"); print("Url: " . $url . "<br>");

  $page_path     = make_page_path($page_string, $script_string, $url);

print($page_path); To see it execute, this URL will do it: http://209.204.172.137/casesearch/php/search.php?search_text=***&page_string=Home&script_string=home.php The Title area contains &nbsp;&nbsp;<? print($page_path); ?> The function that creates the link(s) is /* Make page path */ function make_page_path($page_string, $script_string, $path) {

    $scripts = explode('|', $script_string);
    $pages   = explode('|', $page_string);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($scripts); $i++) {
      if ($i < count($scripts) - 1) {
        if ($i == 0) {
          $page_path = '&lt;a href="' . $path . $scripts[$i] . '"&gt;' . $pages[$i] . '&lt;/a&gt;';
        } else {
          $page_path = $page_path . '-&gt;' . '&lt;a href="' . $path . $scripts[$i] . '"&gt;' . $pages[$i] . '&lt;/a&gt;';
        }
      } else {
        if ($i == 0) {
          $page_path = $pages[$i];
        } else {
          $page_path = $page_path . '-&gt;' . $pages[$i];
        }
      }
    }

//print("Page_path: " . $page_path . "<br>");

    return $page_path;

OK...I am close, but still missing something. The string returned by the function is $page_path and it contains <a href="http://209.204.172.137/casesearch/php/search.php">Home</a>->

what ever else you function is doing this is probably not correct

<a href="http://209.204.172.137/casesearch/php/search.php">Search</a> And here is how the function is used:

funny thing is you don't show the code for the function - AND i willing to bet money that the function uses html_entities() - or an equivelant... you say the function returns: <a href="http://209.204.172.137/casesearch/php/home.php">Home</a> but that is bullshit (if everything else you say it true, namely a direct echo of the return value does not show a link), if you bother to look at your own source, then you will see that the string that is output is: &lt;a href=&quot;http://209.204.172.137/casesearch/php/home.php&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; actually I noticed that the site had changed a little since I happened to look yesterday. today you are dumping some debug output at the top of the page, where as yesterday you we outputting the borked link next to the logo (the home link there now works - I suspect that this is because you have reverted to functionality there?) post the code for the make_page_path() function!
