use both html and php in echo and href line

Question

I have the variable:

 $myvar = 'myarchive.pdf';

How can I embedd it to this:

echo('<tr> <td> <a href="nextpage.php?file=trial.pdf"> download now </a> </td> </tr>');

I wonder if there is a way to do it like this:

 echo('<tr> <td> <a href="nextpage.php?file=".'$myvar'.> download now </a> </td> </tr>');

Answer 1

You are not appending the variable to the string properly. Also you have to enclose nextpage.php?file=variable within quotes. But you are closing it before the variable name.

<a href="nextpage.php?file=".'$myvar'.>
                           ^

So try with

echo('<tr> <td> <a href="nextpage.php?file='.$myvar.'"> download now </a> </td> </tr>');

Answer 2

try this

echo('<tr> <td> <a href="nextpage.php?file='.$myvar.'> download now </a> </td> </tr>');

Answer 3

this should work. re-add your brackets if you must

echo '<tr><td><a href="nextpage.php?file='.$myvar.'">download now</a></td></tr>';
