Problem with creating dynamic URL or href link

PHP
1

Hi,

Below code works…
$navigationpath=“”;
$navtext=“x1”;
$navigationpath = $navigationpath.“> <a href=/”.$navtext." STYLE=text-decoration:none>“.$navtext.”</a> ";
echo $navigationpath; //displays http://yoursitename/x1

Then why doesn’t below work?
$navigationpath=“”;
$navtext=“x1”;
$hlink=“”;
$hlink=$hlink.“/”.$navtext;
$navigationpath = $navigationpath.“> <a href=/”.$hlink." STYLE=text-decoration:none>“.$navtext.”</a> ";
echo $navigationpath; //displays http://x1

Any help?

I have used like
$hlink=$hlink.$navtext.“/”;
?>
<a href=/“<?php echo $hlink; ?>” STYLE=text-decoration:none><?php echo $navtext; ?></a>
<? php…

but then it gives URL as http://yoursitename/"x1"

Now how to remove %22 from URL?
