PHP / echo / a href problem

Fiona,
Try using single quotes to enclose what’s being echoed and double for the href – like this:
echo '<li><a href="<? the_permalink() ?>">'.$title.'</a></li>';

Thanks for that.

That creates the link but not the permalink. It shows as ‘https://domain.com/<? the_permalink() ?>’

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Try:

echo '<li><a href="' . get_the_permalink() . '"' . $title. '"</a></li>";

Hi esmi,

Get a white screen with your code. Strange. Can’t figure out what might me going amiss here.

Any further suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hmmmmm,

The only way I have got this to work is by wrapping the ‘a href’ around the query like so:

Not sure if this is semantically correct but it works. Is this acceptable?

Thanks
