Getting URL of page field type

[SamC]

Can't seem to output the friendly urls here:

// home.inc
<?php

$quickLinks = $pages->find("parent.template=quick-links");

// outputs 1045, 1046, 1047, 1048 so got the IDs ok...
echo $quickLinks;

foreach($quickLinks as $item) {
    echo "<li><a href='$item->internalPage'>$item->title</a></li>";
}

?>

This outputs 'site.com/1045' rather than 'site.com/about-us/'.

'internalPage' is a page field type on the quick-links template, where I select a single page to link to.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

--EDIT--

Can I add that '$item->internalPage->url' outputs 'site.com/1045->url'.

Hi.

$item->internalPage->url

[fbg13]

If you selected "Single Page" in the field options you need 

// /parent/child
$item->internalPage->url;
// or http://domain.tld/parent/child
$item->internalPage->httpUrl;

else you need to loop the field or do $item->internalPage->first->url.

Thanks for replies, but none of them work for some reason:

<?php

$quickLinks = $pages->find("parent.template=quick-links");

echo $quickLinks;

foreach($quickLinks as $item) {
    // outputs site.com/1015->url. Title is correct 'About Us'.
    echo "<li><a href='$item->internalPage->url'>$item->title</a></li>";
  
    // outputs site.com/1015->httpUrl. Title is correct 'About Us'.
    echo "<li><a href='$item->internalPage->httpUrl'>$item->title</a></li>";
}

?>

I have selected single page in the options. I thought '$item->internalPage->url' would work but no luck still.

Try putting $item->internalPage->url  in curly braces {$item->internalPage->url}

Clever  thanks! Why does this work and not without?

[fbg13]

It just parses "$item->internalPage" and echoes  "->url" as a normal string, don't know if it's normal behavior or not.

More about the variable parsing.
