It looks like you're missing the double quote at the end.

You need to put the link in '".$variable ."' and the image src should be in ' ', too.

echo "<p><pre><a href='".$Feed['socialfacebook']."'><img src='facebook-24.png'></a></pre></p>";

Just copy the entire code, works exactly like it should

Don't forget the closing "; at the end, you did in your question

Double-quoted strings don't work with array elements quite like that. You should close and concatenate the strings.

echo "<p><pre><a href=".$Feed['socialfacebook']."><img src=facebook-24.png></a></pre></p>"

You might also want to put some quotes on your attributes.

Close your string with a double quote and end your statement with a semi-colon,
When getting array elements inside a string literal like you're doing, leave out the key quotes,
Use single quotes around your attribute in case of any spaces:

echo "<p><pre><a href='$Feed[socialfacebook]'><img src=facebook-24.png></a>";

Do you know any difference between "<a href='$array[key]'>", "<a href='{$array["key"]}'>" and "<a href='".$array['key']."'>" besides readability (performance, compatibility version, ...) ?

Shouldn't it be:

echo "<p><pre><a href='$Feed["socialfacebook"]'><img src=facebook-24.png></a>";

Don't forget that is href="".
