PHP How to correctly echo a link?

Question

What is the correct way to echo a link to another page in php? I have seen this used but it doesn't work?

 echo "<p><a href=\"link\">";

Answer 1

Html in PHP
<?php
echo "<a href='$link'>The Link You Want</a>";
?>

Php in Html
<a href="<?php echo $link;?>"> Link </a>

Answer 2

It seems like your question was already answered in How to create a link to another PHP page

<a href="index.php">Index Page</a>
<a href="page2.php">Page 2</a>

If you need to pass a value -

<a href="page2.php?val=1">Link that pass the value 1</a>

Answer 3

You would do it like this:

print("<a href='your_target'></a>");

Or if you want to print the code and not the link:

print(htmlspecialchars("<a href='your_target'></a>"));

Answer 4

try this:

<a href='<?php echo "the_page_you_want.php" ?>'>link_text</a>
