PHP code to display db data - php

Question

Hi guys I have a problem with my PHP, What I am trying to achieve is this:
<li>Product name from DB
<strong>£499<img src="images/thumb.png" alt="Product name from DB"/></strong>
</li>
and here is my code with php:
<ul id="items">
<?php while($product_data = mysql_fetch_array($query_product_result))
{
$num_rows_products = $num_rows_products - 1;
Print "<li><a href = 'main.php?prodid=" . $product_data["product_id"] . " <strong> Name: " . $product_data["title"] . "</strong></a>";
Print "<strong>Price: £" . $product_data["price"] . "'><img src='images/" . $product_data["mainImageThumbnail"] . "' alt='Product image' /></a></strong></li>";
if($num_rows_products > 0)
Print '<p> nu products ? wtf</p>';
}
?>
For some reason all I get is an image with a hyperlink, no title and no price, any chance you can spot the mistake?

Answer 1

Your not closing the <a> tag properly. See the code below. Notice the missing ">" in your code?
Print "<li><a href = 'main.php?prodid=" . $product_data["product_id"] . "'> <strong> Name: " . $product_data["title"] . "</strong></a>";
Print "<strong>Price: £" . $product_data["price"] . "<img src='images/" . $product_data["mainImageThumbnail"] . "' alt='Product image' /></a></strong></li>";

Use Echo instead. Print won't displays concatenated string.
<ul id="items">
<?php while($product_data = mysql_fetch_array($query_product_result))
{
$num_rows_products = $num_rows_products - 1;
echo "<li><a href = 'main.php?prodid=" . $product_data["product_id"] . " <strong> Name: " . $product_data["title"] . "</strong></a>";
echo "<strong>Price: £" . $product_data["price"] . "'><img src='images/" . $product_data["mainImageThumbnail"] . "' alt='Product image' /></a></strong></li>";
if($num_rows_products > 0)
echo '<p> nu products ? wtf</p>';
}
?>
