how to make a result an email link??

[Anonymous]

Here is my my code that display my results in a table, which works fine. The problem I'm having is that I'd like to make email address a working email link. This doesn't work, can anyone help?


echo ('<p><b>Kites</b></p>');
echo ('<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100"><b>Type</b></td>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
<td width="90"><b>Price</b></td>
<td width="100"><b>Name</b></td>
<td width="100"><b>Email</b></td>
<td width="100"><b>Phone</b></td>
</tr>');

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {
$gearid = $row['ID'];
$gear_type = $row['gear_type'];
$gear_info = $row['gear_info'];
$gear_price = $row['gear_price'];
$name = $row['name'];
$email = $row['email'];
$phone = $row['phone'];
echo('<tr>');
echo('<td>' . $gear_type . '</td>');
echo('<td>' . $gear_info . '</td>');
echo('<td>' . $gear_price . '</td>');
echo('<td>' . $name . '</td>');
echo('<td>' . <a href='mailto:$email'>$email</a> . '</td>');
echo('<td>' . $phone . '</td>');
echo('</tr>');
}
echo('</table>');

Try using a double quote before your email. The problem is coming from you using single quotes to enclose your email address, which php thinks you are exiting out the string.

echo('<td>' . <a href="mailto:'.$email.'">$email</a> . '</td>');
