Question

Using WordPress, i have a plugin that inserts a playable MP3 on the page.

To call that, along with the track details, this code is inserted;

            <?php if (function_exists("insert_audio_player")) {  
              insert_audio_player("[audio:http://thewebsite.com/thetrack.mp3|artists=Artist|titles=Titles]");  
            } ?>

I would like to make this editable from the backend easily, by entering some meta-data. So this;

<?php meta('track-url'); ?>

Along with other various details would replace those that are above.

Unfortunately for me, this;

                <?php if (function_exists("insert_audio_player")) {  
              insert_audio_player("[audio:<?php meta('track-url'); ?>|artists=Jack Presto|titles=Track 1]");  
            } ?>

obviously does not work! This is down to my lack of understanding if PHP – can anyone help?

Cheers!

Simple! Do this:

<?php if (function_exists("insert_audio_player")) {
   $trackUrl = meta('track-url');
   insert_audio_player("[audio:$trackUrl|artists=Jack Presto|titles=Track 1]");  
} ?>
