Insert php variable in a href

Question

I am planning to insert a PHP variable which holds the directory path for a file stored on my Windows machine  How can I include this variable in the a href tag inside my php script such that when the user clicks this link it should be redirected to that particular folder and file   For ex   folder path    C  docs test file1 txt    Right now I have tried some different ways but with no success  I have also did some research on internet  but alas could not find a proper answer   If any one has an idea would be thankful if it can be shared  Thanks

You could try     lt a href   lt  php echo  directory   gt   gt The link to the file lt  a gt    Or for PHP 5 4    lt    is the PHP short echo tag     lt a href   lt     directory   gt   gt The link to the file lt  a gt    But your path is relative to the server  don t forget that

echo   lt a href       folder path      gt Link text lt  a gt      Please note that you must use the path relative to your domain and  if the folder path is outside the public htdocs directory  it will not work   EDIT  maybe i misreaded the question  you have a file on your pc and want to insert the path on the html page  and then send it to the server
