Adding more complex shortcode to PHP code

    Hello,

    I have a shortcode which I want to use in the template, but the problem is I want to also include PHP code in it. Here is an example of what I am after.

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[su_list icon="icon: angle-double-right" icon_color="#800000" ]<a href="#Savings">Savings in <?php echo $city; ?></a>[/su_list]'); ?>

    I want to output the city on the frontend i.e. “Savings in New York” but it looks like the php code is omited and I got only “Savings in” instead, is there any way to force it to work that way? The code works outside of shortcode without any problems.

    try and use string concatenation:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[su_list icon="icon: angle-double-right" icon_color="#800000" ]<a href="#Savings">Savings in ' . $city . '</a>[/su_list]'); ?>

    is $city definded somewhere before your code?
