Add PHP variable inside echo statement as href link address?

Question

I'm trying to use a PHP variable to add a href value for a link in an echo statement.

Here's a simplified version of the code I want to use. I know that I can't just add the variable into the echo statement, but I can't seem to find an example anywhere that works.

$link_address = '#'; echo '<a href="$link_address">Link</a>'; 

Answer 1

Try like

HTML in PHP :

echo "<a href='".$link_address."'>Link</a>"; 

Or even you can try like

echo "<a href='$link_address'>Link</a>"; 

Or you can use PHP in HTML like

PHP in HTML :

<a href="<?php echo $link_address;?>"> Link </a> 

Answer 2

you can either use

echo '<a href="'.$link_address.'">Link</a>'; 

or

echo "<a href=\"$link_address\">Link</a>'; 

if you use double quotes you can insert the variable into the string and it will be parsed.
