Hi - I have this working

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$filename=$row['cat_title'];
echo "<li><a href=\"". $filename. "\">". $filename."</a></li>\n";
}


I need to append ".html" (the extension) onto $filename so it returns

pagename.html


How to append this in PHP please?, and thanks for your time.

Thanks Richard for reading:
echo "<li><a href=\"". $filename . ". html" "\">". $filename."</a></li>\n"

gives parse error unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED. Is this an escaping issue?

Just add it to the text string (inside the unescaped "'s):

echo "<li><a href=\"". $filename. ".html\">". $filename."</a></li>\n";

I would say you need another full stop / period in there after . ".html"

echo "<li><a href=\"". $filename . ". html" . "\">". $filename."</a></li>\n"

or you could run it together:

echo "<li><a href=\"". $filename . ". html\">". $filename."</a></li>\n"

echo "<li><a href=\"". $filename . ".html\">". $filename."</a></li>\n"

Or, more readably:

printf('<li>%s</li>'."\n",
$filename,
$filename);

Or you could make it easier on yourself:

echo "<li><a href='$filename.html'>$filename</a></li>\n"
