 :
 : echo "<a id=\"institute_link_1\" HREF=$link_1e> $linkname_1 </a>";

 : ?>
 :
 : This snippet of PHP code isn't that useful as an example.
 :
 : <?PHP
 : $linkarray=("The link name" => "http://example.net",
 :     "Another" => "http://user.example.net",
 :     "CIA" => "http://www.cia.net",
 :     "FBI" => "http://www.fbi.net",
 :     "W3C" => "http://www.w3c.org",
 :     "Linux" => "http://www.linux.org"
 :            );
 : foreach($linkarray as $name => $url) {
 : echo "<a href=\"$url\">$name</a><br>\n";
 : }
 : ?>
 :
 : This would generate the following
 :
 : <a href="http://example.net">The link name</a><br>
 : <a href="http://user.example.net">Another</a><br>
 : <a href="http://www.cia.net">CIA</a><br>
 : <a href="http://www.fbi.net">FBI</a><br>
 : <a href="http://www.w3c.org">W3C</a><br>
 : <a href="http://www.linux.org">Linux</a><br>
 :
 :
 : You just add links to the $linkarray in the same manner as those I made.
 : Inside the for each loop you design the look of how the links should be
 drawn
 : in the HTML data sent. The $name is the name of the link an the $url where
 the
 : link will point. If you would save the code to it's own file, say
 menu.php,
 : then you need to rename all the files that will use the php-code to
 : <old name - .html>.php (if the old file was index.html, then it should be
 : named index.php) and at the location where the links will be listed you
 add
 :
 : <?PHP include 'menu.php'; ?>
 :
 : every time you want to change the links, you edit the menu.php file.
 :
 : This is just a crude example, if you need php help, then visit alt.php.
