using PHP variables in html tag

Question

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!

Answer 1

Try this :

<a href= "<?php echo $link; ?>" > LINK </a>

echo it echo $link;

Alternatively, short hand would be:

<a href= "<?= $link; ?>" > LINK </a>
