PHP within Print PHP

Question

How would I go about including PHP within a printf that outputs an HTML link? The end goal is for the avatar to be clickable to go to the link.

This is what I've tried so far:

PHP print url code:

<?php printf( '<a href="%s"></a>', dokan_get_store_url( $author->ID )); ?>

Just to confirm I'm looking to combine the two lines of code so to speak so that the avatar code is within the URL code, the end result being the avatar becomes a link, hope that makes sense.

PHP get avatar:

<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email', get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ), 100, '', esc_html__( 'Author Avatar', 'multimarket' ), array( 'class' => 'author_avatar' ) ); ?>

How do I surround the avatar with the URL code so that the avatar becomes a link?

What issues are you having with the above code? And what do you mean by "including PHP within an print that outputs a html link"? — M. Eriksson

He wants to combine the two so that the avatar is surrounded by the 'author ID' anchor tag. @MagnusEriksson — Albzi

Ah. Well, then store the avatar in a variable instead of echo'ing it and add it to your printf() — M. Eriksson

You can do this:

<?php $avatar = get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email', get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ), 100, '', esc_html__( 'Author Avatar', 'multimarket' ), array( 'class' => 'author_avatar' ) );

printf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', dokan_get_store_url( $author->ID ), $avatar);

Then your avatar will be within the <a> tags.
