# Echo quotes inside function?

 * Can’t seem to work this one out – hoping someone can quell my frustration:
 * I’m using Advanced Custom Fields (which I love!) and need to echo “get_the_field(‘
   field_name’)”. Should all be easy, so I thought. But I can’t use the (‘field_name’)
   within the statement as single quotes are used for other purposes. I’ve tried
   double quotes, combinations, etc. but can’t get it working. Any help appreciated
   🙂 My echo statement is
 *     ```
       echo '<h5><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_field() . '</a></h5>';
       ```

 * you can break your code into several lines at any time.
 * however, using any quotes within your function `get_the_field()` should be no
   problem;
    what was the exact code that ‘failed’? and what was the result?

 * Hi Alchymyth,
 * Seems that it must have been something with my code cause it’s all working now?
   I’m not sure what I did to get it working but this works fine:
 *     ```
       echo '<h5><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_field('the_field') . '</a></h5>';
       ```
   
 * Thanks for your offer of help 🙂
