I'm trying to use a php variable to add a href value for a link in an echo statement.

Here's a simplified version of the code I want to use. I know that I can't just add the variable into the echo statement, but I can't seem to find an example anywhere that works.

$link_address = '#';
echo '<a href="$link_address">Link</a>';

Any pointers appreciated.

Try like

HTML in PHP : 

echo "<a href='".$link_address."'>Link</a>";

Or even you can try like

echo "<a href='$link_address'>Link</a>";

Or you can use PHP in HTML like

PHP in HTML : 

<a href="<?php echo $link_address;?>"> Link </a>
