Adding a href image to my shortcode title??

    Hi guys,

    I’m still fairly new to PHP but I’ve managed to make some nice shortcode for adding the post title in my posts. However, I now wanna add a hyperlinked image which comes up before the title which links to a local playlist file on my computer.

    Here’s my attempt which is clearly wrong;

    function myshortcode_title( ){
   $title = get_the_title();
   $url = ("<a href=\"file:///Guru/", '$post->ID', ".m3u\""><img
src=\"http://ducknet.me/guru/play.png\"></a>");
   return $url.$title;
}
add_shortcode( 'page_title', 'myshortcode_title' );

    MY RETURN OUTPUT NEEDS TO BE:
    <a href="file:///Guru/(POST_ID).m3u"><img src="http://ducknet.me/guru/play.png"></a> (POST TITLE)

    In fact, I might move the closing tag after the post title but that should be the easy part. I tried using \” to include quotes within my PHP quotes, but I must be doing something wrong because my site breaks with the above code.

    What am I doing wrong??

    Thanks,
    Colin.

    Haha.. I got it to work… For those who may struggle with this, use single quotes and then put your double quotes in normal, like this… As a separator, don’t use a comma, but a period!

    function myshortcode_title( ){
   $title = get_the_title();
   $id = get_the_ID();
   $url = ('<a href="file:///Guru/'.$id.'.m3u"><img
src="http://ducknet.me/guru/play.png"></a> ');
   return $url.$title;
}
add_shortcode( 'page_title', 'myshortcode_title' );
