include php file in echo html code

Question

I cant get this syntax to work, already tried modifying it many time.

    <?php
echo 
"<a href='".include 'go/randomlink.php'."'>".$item['stockid']."</a>";
?>

randomlink.php generates a randomlink from a list, which I want to include — Pascal Stegers, Mar 05 '16 at 08:27

For this to work, your other php file must simply echo some string.

randomlink.php:

<?php
echo "What came first the chicken or the egg?";
?>

index.php:

echo "<a href='";
include('go/randomlink.php');
echo "'>" . $item['stockid'] . "</a>";

hope this helps you.
