php syntax

[john0611]

Hi all, Any ideas on the correct syntax with the Date here

<?php
// query db
$sql = mysql_query ("SELECT listingid, Title, Date FROM `track-listing` ORDER BY Date ASC");
// echo linked result from db
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
echo "<a href='track-listings.php?listingid={$row['listingid']}'>" . ucwords(strtolower($row['Title']['Date'])) . "</a><br>";
}
?>

open to any suggestions, John

ucwords(strtolower($row['Date'])) . "</a><br>";

Here is the code, I am just not sure how to wright it correctly, without errors.

I need to be able to view both the title & the Date

<?php

// query db
$sql = mysql_query ("SELECT listingid, Title, Date, DATE_FORMAT(Date, '%d-%m-%Y') as Date FROM `track-listing` ORDER BY Date DESC");
// echo linked result from db
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
echo "<a href='track-listings.php?listingid={$row['listingid']}'>" . ucwords(strtolower($row['Title'])) . ucwords(strtolower($row['Date'])) "</a><br>";
}
?>

add a "." after echoing the $row['date'] variable:

<?php

// query db
$sql = mysql_query ("SELECT listingid, Title, Date, DATE_FORMAT(Date, '%d-%m-%Y') as Date FROM `track-listing` ORDER BY Date DESC");
// echo linked result from db
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
echo "<a href='track-listings.php?listingid={$row['listingid']}'>" . ucwords(strtolower($row['Title'])) . ucwords(strtolower($row['Date'])) . "</a><br>";
}
?>

This concatenates the string, you must form an echo like so:

echo "Hello " . $user . "!"; 

So it knows where that variable starts and ends and adds any extra string parts to the beginning and end.

You almost had it right
