";
?>

 

i dont really want the menu divied like for example in the coding once you in hospital the menu will give you a link to hospital i dont want that i just want only 1 menu out the whole game not for it to change..

yeah change print" to echo ' and the end where it's "; to ';

look up print and echo statements...

looked again you have if($ir['hospital']){

that would change your menu when you go into the hosp... You can easily take it out and the end of the statement }

';

?>

 

anytime you add print or echo statement make sure all your quotes are the same they cant be mixed of double and single, it has to be one or the other....You had single quotes in your spans and all others were double thought you would know the basics, that's why i never mention it before... pays to learn before you code, there are many sites on the internet that offer tutorials, you may want to read about your echo and print statements as well as your IF statements...

thanks lucky much love for that it worked but one problem it dont let me add announcement link with the code next to it? ({$ir['new_announcements']})

[lucky3809]

it is echo statement it needs to be ('.$ir['new_announcements'].')
