   Ok. Today I'm writing my first plugin. It's pretty simple: after each post, display a link to a url with the name of the blog, url, and post_ID.

   But it keeps choking when it hits the part for

   <?php bloginfo('url'); ?>

   Here is the complete code:

   function retweet ($content) {
   	$content = $content . '<a>+<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/?p=<?php the_ID(); ?>">Retweet</a>';
   	return $content;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_content', 'retweet');

   You can't nest <?php ... ?> tags... Additionally, bloginfo() and the_ID() do not return values, they output them...

   Try this instead:

   function retweet($content) {
     ob_start();
     echo "\r\n";
     echo '<a href="';
     bloginfo('url');
     echo '/?p=';
     the_ID();
     echo '">Retweet</a>';
     echo "\r\n";
     return $content . ob_get_clean();
   }

   That seems to be linking directly to the same post url using the dynamic address. However, I'm trying to build a HREF url that includes text and the_title() and bloginfo(url) and the_ID().

   The link should go to:

   http://twitter.com/home/?status=Retweet: Blog Title Var http://someblog.com/?p=1

   The link text should be: Retweet

   Any mods you can help with to complete this?

   Much thanks to NC@WP for helping rewrite the function in my first plugin.
