Is it possible to Echo a Web Page link in PHP?
If it is can anyone supply the code please.

Indeed it is:
<?
echo "<a href=\"YOUR_LINK_HERE\" >LINK_TITLE_HERE</a>";
?>P.s: Don't forget the backslashes for the 'href' attribute, if you leave them out the php won't work.

Thankyou for that but i still can't get it working now it doesn't even change when i click the link.
I have a image map link that i click which i want to change what is in a div further down the page but what i want in the div is a list of files with links to them i can get plain text just not links

If I'm getting you, you want to change the content of a part of the page when you click a link. If so you'll probably want Ajax, although you could use an iframe, or even a page reload with url parameters.
An image map is just a glorified bunch of image links, so it/they should work as stated by Menster. If an imagemap link doesn't work, be sure to check the html syntax - all the t's crossed and all the i's dotted!
<?php
echo '<a href="YOUR_LINK_HERE" >LINK_TITLE_HERE</a>';
?>You could try the above (Menster's e.g. but without escaped double quotes).

I get my links to work by simply inputting:
<?php
echo '<a href="http://mydomain.com">My domain</a>';

That hasnt worked either, if you hadnt guessed as well i am new to this. I have attached the code for the whole page. could it be something wrong with the script for the div
otherwise think i might look into this iframe and ajax

echo '<a href="http://mydomain.com">My domain</a>' This bit may cause problems - I didn't realise that you were passing this as a parameter in a js call. You need to encode the tag, or better still, just pass the url string (mydomain.com):
Like this: ... onclick="changeDivContent('scriptVars1','<?php echo $url;?>','<?php echo $label;?>');" ... and change this to:
<script>
function changeDivContent( nameOfDiv, newContent, newLabel )
{
var div = document.getElementById( nameOfDiv );
if( div )
{
div.innerText = '<a href="http://' + newContent + '">' + newLabel + '</a>' ;
}
}
