Adding a PHP variable to HTML code

Question

I have a PHP variable, $id, which I previously retrieved in PHP code. This variable needs to be added to a string in HTML tags, like so:

<iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/" ID GOES HERE ></iframe>

However, I have no idea how to do this. Any help is appreciated :)

@YellowBird I tried to do what is contained in the answers I have been given but I put the PHP tags outside of the string and had no idea what I'd done wrong haha. — OllieStanley

@DziNeIT - Generally, if you have tried something that didn't work it's a good idea to show what you have tried so people know you have put some effort into it first. Just provides some clarity really. — webnoob

This should do assuming your page is a .php page.

<iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/<?php echo $id; ?>"></iframe>
