Question

I’m calling a function like this:

<?php print get_thumbnail('http://url.com/?skin=rss'); ?>

Being a php newbie, I’m wondering if there is a way to change the http://url.com part based on a custom metadata I have set up in WordPress. So I guess it would look something like this:

<?php print get_thumbnail('<?=$video_src?>/?skin=rss'); ?>

Is something like this possible?

Yes, you have the right idea, you just don’t need to re-open PHP tags since you’re already inside some. You can use . to concatenate (join together) the value of $video_src and "?skin=rss".

<?php print get_thumbnail($video_src . "?skin=rss"); ?>
