# Small PHP problem

 *  Resolved [greencode](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greencode/)

 * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/small-php-problem/)
 * I have the following code which basically gets the name and link of the sub category
   of category ID 1 and then echoes that out. I’m sure this is a very very simple
   PHP issue but I don’t know how to get it so that all of it is contained within
   the link. So it currently looks like this:
 * View all Art projects (with only “Art” being the link) whereas I want all of “
   View all Art projects” to be the link
 *     ```
       <li><?php _e( 'View all', 'mytheme' ); ?> <?php
       foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
       if (cat_is_ancestor_of(1, $childcat)) {
       echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
        echo $childcat->cat_name . '</a>';
       }}
       ?> <?php _e( 'Projects', 'mytheme' ); ?></li>
       ```
   
 * Really hope someone can help with this?

 * Everything to be included in a link needs to go just before the closing `</a>`
   tag.
 * Please try this:
 *     ```
       <li>
          <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
             if (cat_is_ancestor_of(1, $childcat)) {
                echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($childcat->cat_ID).'">';
                _e( 'View all', 'mytheme' );
                echo $childcat->cat_name;
                _e( 'Projects', 'mytheme' );
                echo '</a>';
             }
          }
          ?>
       </li>
       ```

 * Thanks so much for this.
 * Just one question. It now doesn’t have any spacing i.e. it comes out as:
 * View allArtProjects
 * How do I go about adding the spaces?

 * Sorry about that. Just add a space in ‘View all’ and ‘Projects’ like this: ‘View
   all ‘ and ‘ Projects’.
