PHP to Html hand off

I am working on a keyword link list. In a MySQL database I have 2 fields keyword and link. Using PHP I can retrieve these no problem. What I am trying to do is use the keyword variable $word and $link as a hyperlink. In the code example below you will find several echo lines I use to verify results that are superfluous. I also realize the a href in no way will work it is included to explain my intentions.

php Code:

Original - php Code

<?php 
$location = "localhost"; 
$username = "myuserename"; 
$password = "somethingclever"; 
$database = "navigation"; 
$kword = $_POST['theword'];
 
$conn = mysql_connect("$location","$username","$password"); 
if (!$conn) die ("Could not connect MySQL"); 
mysql_select_db($database,$conn) or die ("Could not open database"); 
 
$query = "SELECT * FROM keyword"; 
$result = mysql_query($query); 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
$word=$row[keyword];
$link = $row[link] ; 
 
echo 'KeyWord ';
echo $word;
echo '<p> </p>';
echo $link;
echo '<p> </p>';
}
 
?>
 
<a href="$link">"$word"</a>

ANy help will be ENORMOUSLY appreciated

RE: PHP to Html hand off

you need to dynamically generate the hyperlink in the while statement

php Code:

Original - php Code
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $word=$row[keyword]; $link = $row[link] ; echo "<a href='".$link."'>".$word."</a><br>"; }

 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
$word=$row[keyword];
$link = $row[link] ; 
 
echo "<a href='".$link."'>".$word."</a><br>";
}

RE: PHP to Html hand off

Thanks that did the trick. Apparently not a "Client Side Thing" after all.

Thanks again
