'how to pass row id in href of a tag in codeigniter controller?

I am using jqxgrid in codeigniter to display records from mysql database. while displaying the data, I made a column named 'action' that contains edit a tag to redirect to another page for editing a specific record. I need to assign id to href attribute in order to do that. but I can't correctly do that.

In controller, tax.php:

foreach($result as $row){
   $data[$i]['tax_id']=$row['tax_id'];
   $data[$i]['tax_name']=$row['tax_name'];
   $data[$i]['action']='<a href="<?php echo base_url()?>/edit_tax/$row["tax_id"];">Edit</a>';
   $i++;
}

how can i correctly assign tax_id to my url?

I believe you have to evaluate $row["tax_id"] as a PHP expression:

$data[$i]['action']='<a href="<?php echo base_url()?>/edit_tax/<?php echo $row["tax_id"]; ?>">Edit</a>';

Edit: Use PHP's string concatenation to construct the <a> element:

$data[$i]['action']='<a href="' . base_url() . '/edit_tax/' . $row["tax_id"] . '">Edit</a>';

This is how you do it.

<?php
foreach($result as $row)
{
 $editurl = base_url() . 'admin/edit-user/' . $row['tax_id'];
 ?>
 <a href="<?php echo $editurl; ?>" class="edit-user" >Edit</a>
 <?php
}
?>

Do let me know if it didn't work.

Use below code: 

$id =  $row["tax_id"];   
$data[$i]['action']='<a href="'.base_url().'/edit_tax/'.$id.'">Edit</a>';

It will work properly.
