I am trying to use following codes to have an email share button in a WordPress website. But adding this codes in single.php shows "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in .......... in line 72". Please help me someone to fix this issue.
<?php echo "<a href="mailto:type%20email%20address%20here?subject=I%20wanted%20to%20share%20this%20post%20with%20you%20from%20<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>&body=<?php the_title('','',true); ?>%20%20%3A%20%20<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>%20%20%2D%20%20%28%20<?php the_permalink(); ?>%20%29" title="Email to a friend/colleague" target="_blank">Share via Email</a>"; ?>
You need to escape your quotes or change the inner double-quotes to single quotes
[edit]
Something like this:
<?php
echo '<a href="mailto:type%20email%20address%20here?subject=I%20wanted%20to%20share%20this%20post%20with%20you%20from%20'. bloginfo('name') .'&body='.the_title('','',true).'%20%20%3A%20%20'. get_the_excerpt() .'%20%20%2D%20%20%28%20'. the_permalink() .'%20%29" title="Email to a friend/colleague" target="_blank">Share via Email</a>';
?>
