Travis,
you need to concatenate your recordset value like so to string it together
<?php
$url = $row_rsComments[url];
if(empty($url)){
echo $row_rsComments['name'];
}
else {
echo '<a href="$row_rsComments['url']">' . $row_rsComments['name'] . '</a>';
}
?>
Note that I use a single quote (') so that I do not have to escape the double quotes in this instance.
