outtputting dynamic link in xml tag using php

hi,
i am trying to create an xml tag ref to hold link.php?id=1; or
link.php?id=2 and so on.
I want the links for all the fields(id) in the databse so that when i
call them in my html page for google maps i have the whole link.The
tag in the php page i am using is

echo 'ref="link.php?id='.$row['id'] . '"';
the tag in html is
<a href="+ref+">" +"more info"+ "</a>"

Link.php takes in the id and runs a query and displays results based
on id.

Please tell me if what i am doing is rite or wrong.Also what is the
best way for me to go ahead with this.
Thanking You,
Prashant Kalyanraman

prashant wrote:OK, I guess I don't understand just what you're trying to do then.

when you do

echo 'ref="link.php?id='.$row['id'] . '"';

You should get on your page (see the page source!)

ref="link.php?id=42"

if $row['id'] is 42. Are you not getting this?

Perhaps he wants :

<a href="link.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>">more info</a>

database.Then i am calling the xml output in my html page(this html
page is for google maps).Every school present in my xml file is
displayed in the form of markers in google map. when clicked on a
marker it displays lat,long,district,county etc. I would also like to
have a link for every school i display on the map.initially i tried
making static pages and static links but it was too tedious. so i
created a page link.php which takes in id and displays the information
about school.

The dynamic link on either the php page or html page. i am trying to
make small changes to my php page to make it work since i wasnt able
to do it on tht html page.

so the code i wrote on my phph page is

echo '<markers>';

// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
// ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
echo '<marker ';
echo 'name="' . $row['name'] . '" ';
echo 'street="' . $row['street'] . '" ';
echo 'city="' . $row['city'] . '" ';
echo 'zip="' . $row['zip'] . '" ';
echo 'ref="link.php?id='.$row['id'] . '"';
echo 'county="' . $row['county'] . '" ';
echo 'earthquake="' . $row['earthquake'] . '" ';
echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
echo '/>';

}
// End XML file
echo '</markers>';

?>
with other corresponding information on top.without the echo ref my
code works perfectly fine.

on my html page the imprtant functions i am using are

function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.618412, -122.041893), 10);

GDownloadUrl("newphpgen.php", function(data) {
var xml = GXml.parse(data);
var markers =
xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker") ;
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var street = markers[i].getAttribute("street");
var type = markers[i].getAttribute("type");
var city = markers[i].getAttribute("city");
var zip = markers[i].getAttribute("zip");
var earthquake = markers[i].getAttribute("earthquake");
var link = markers[i].getAttribute("link");
var linkss = markers[i].getAttribute("linkss");
var point = new
GLatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),

parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = createMarker(point, name, type,link, linkss,
city, zip, street, earthquake);
map.addOverlay(marker);
map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_TYPE);
}
function createMarker(point, name, type,link, linkss, city, zip,
street, earthquake) {
var marker = new GMarker(point, customIcons[type]);
//var html = "<b>" + name +"<br/></b>" + street + "<br/>"+ city
+"&nbsp;" + zip +"<br/><b>Earthquake: " + earthquake + "</b><br/><a
href="+link+">" +"more info"+ "</a>";


currently i am suing static link to schools but now i hav a databse of
15000 records and making a link for every field would not be feasible.
can u please tell me what would be the best solution

Otherwise - check an XML group with your source to determine what's
wrong with the xml itself. Then adjust your PHP code to fix it.
