Hyperlink Properties

[sales]

Sorry, a real simple question and maybe one not for this group.

Have just tried a php pagination tutorial which works fine. The line
that produces the "Previous" hyperlink is as below and this works
fine. But...

echo "<a href=" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?start=" . ($start-
$records_per_page) . ">Previous Page</a>";

When I try to change the hyperlink properties in the html code to
effect the font style, size and colour as below...

echo "<a href=" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?start=" . ($start-
$records_per_page) . " style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;
color: #0000FF">Previous Page</a>";

I get the following error message.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

I have looked at the normal format of a hyperlink and cannot see what
is wrong...

Anyone???

Get an editor with descent syntax-highlighting, you'd spot it immediately..

echo '<a href="'. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?start=' . ($start-
$records_per_page) . '" style="font-family: Arial;font-size: 10pt;color:
#0000FF">Previous Page</a>';
