I get a variable from PHP code which is a webpage link, and want to use that in html tag. For example:
<?php
$link;
...
$link = $client->api();
?>
<a href= "<?php $link ?>" > LINK </a>
How can I get the link value in html tag? Thank you!
Try this :
<a href= "<?php echo $link; ?>" > LINK </a>
echo it echo $link;
Alternatively, short hand would be:
<a href= "<?= $link; ?>" > LINK </a>
You must echo the value ... also, don't forget to escape it:
<a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($link, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>">LINK</a>
Since PHP 5.4 it's also safe to use short open tags:
<a href="<?= htmlspecialchars($link, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>">LINK</a>
htmlentities() unless have a really good reason. For almost all situations htmlspecialchars() is sufficient and the correct way ™.if you have html file then fist change the extention .php in place of .html
eg. you have test.html then change that to test.php
after that you use the same code as
<?php $link='http://stackoverflow.com' ?>
<a href= "<?php echo $link; ?>" > LINK </a>
Hope this will help you
Or in short way:
<a href="<?= $link; ?>">LINK</a>
this is work for me you have to call the function (echo) in HTML Tag ... that all , good luck.
enter <a href= "<?php echo $link; ?>" > LINK </a> here
<a href= "<?php echo $link; ?>" > LINK </a>
or
<?php
echo '<a href= "'.$link.'"> LINK </a>';
?>
