Novice PHP question

    I’m using the excerpt for my archive and category pages and would like to put a “Read this post” link at the bottom of the excerpt without the link showing up when the post is unfolded.
    I’ve got this working: <?php if(is_category() || is_archive()) { echo '<a href="#">Lire la suite...</a>' ; } ?>
    But when I put <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> where the “#” is, it doesn’t work.
    Sorry to be so daft, but can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong – I’ve already pulled out most of my hair!

    OK, OK, found it!
    <?php
    if ($single)
    the_content();
    else {
    the_excerpt();
    if (!empty($post->post_excerpt))
    {
    ?> </div>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read this post</a>
    <?php
    }
    }
    ?>
    Thanks to those people in this thread :

    Would be easier if the WP support forum search function was working.

    thanks for sharing… I was able to take this and modify it for my custom theme easily.

    thanks!
