How to set the href value of an HTML hyperlink anchor tag using CodeIgniter's base_url()

I'm trying to present hyperlinks on my webpage using CodeIgniter's base_url() and concatenation.

$i = 1;
foreach ($view as $row) {
    echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td>" . $i . "</td>";
        echo "<td>" . "<a href='<?php echo base_url();?>admin/play/$row->audio'" . $row->audio . "</a></td>";
        $i++;
    echo "</tr>";
}

In inspecting the element, the anchor shows some raw PHP code instead of localhost/bla/bla/. How can I fix this?

My controller name is play and I want to pass the value of its the particular name.

Is my concatenation correct?

Solution

  • You are opening php tags twice. make it like this:

    <?php 
$i = 1;
foreach ($view as $row)
{
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>".$i."</td>";

    echo "<td><a href='" . base_url('admin/play' . $row->audio) . "'>" . $row=>audio . "</a><td>";

    $i++;
    echo "</tr>";
}
