Hyperlink in a PHP output table

I am trying to create an output table in PHP after extracting data from a database. The fourth column needs to be a hyperlink. I have used the following code. But I am getting error in regards to the hyperlink section. Could you please let me know how to rectify it?

Thanks!

 echo"<tr>
            <td>".$row["name"]."</td>
            <td>".$row["age"]."</td>
            <td>".$row["sex"]."</td>                                                                                                                                                                        
            <td><a href= "https://weblink.com/path1/path2/test.php?name='.urlencode($row["name"]).'&age='.urlencode($row["age"]).'">Click for next</a></td>

  </tr>";

Looking at your forth <td> your code is attempting to end the echo after href=", hence you have to escape the quotation mark href=\". If this looks too ugly you can also use single quotes instead.

echo"<tr>
        <td>".$row["name"]."</td>
        <td>".$row["age"]."</td>
        <td>".$row["sex"]."</td>                                                                                                                                                                        
        <td><a href=\"https://weblink.com/path1/path2/test.php?name=".urlencode($row["name"])."&age=".urlencode($row["age"])."\">Click for next</a></td>
</tr>";

I started php not long ago and I realized that it can be useful to format your code differently for clarity. Try using your tags differently if you can, for exemple:

// end php and switch to html 
?> 

    <tr>
       <td><?php echo $row["name"]; ?></td>
       <td><?php echo $row["age"]; ?></td>
       <td><?php echo $row["sex"]; ?></td>                                                                                                                                                                        
       <td><a href= "https://weblink.com/path1/path2/test.php?name=<?php echo urlencode($row["name"]); ?>&age=<?php echo urlencode($row["age"]); ?>">Click for next</a></td>
    </tr>

    <?php // resume php
