在现有的PHP标记内添加the_permalink

Question

I have this piece of code inside a Wordpress loop that checks if the field 'quote' is present. If it's not here it will display the link but if it is there it wont.

<?php 
  if(get_field('quote') == ''){
  $yourTag = "<a href="the_permalink();">" ;
  } else {
  $yourTag = "";
  }
?>

and then I use this to output the link:

<div> <?php echo $yourTag; ?> </div>

The problem I'm having is with the 3rd line:

$yourTag = "<a href="the_permalink();">" ;

All this does is add the_permalink() onto the end of the URL and doesn't output the actual link.

Is this code is correct?

For reference, the full loop code is here:

<!-- Main Loop =========================================== -->


<div class="container blog-card-container">
    <div class="card-columns">


        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

            <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>

            <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>




                <!-- Conditional a  =========================================== -->

                <?php 
                if(get_field('quote') == ''){
                $yourTag = "<a href="the_permalink();">" ;
                } else {
                $yourTag = "";
                }
                ?>





                <div> <?php echo $yourTag; ?> </div>




                    <div class="card">

                        <?php if ( in_category('14') ) : ?>


                            <div class="client-header-logo-card" style="background-color: <?php the_field('client_brand_colour'); ?>;">
                                <?php 

                                $image = get_field('client_logo');

                                if( !empty($image) ): ?>

                                    <img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />

You can do it with dot (.) ie concatenation operator like below.

 <?php 
      if(get_field('quote') == ''){
      $yourTag = "<a href='".get_the_permalink()."'>" ;
      } else {
      $yourTag = "";
      }
    ?>
