 * Hi
    I want to add a php code inside the wordpress do shortcode The shortcode [
   link] is a mycred shortcode which gives users points when they click on a link.
   However I want to give my users link when the share a post on facebook so I have
   used the code below, but it did not work
 *     ```
       <?php
       echo do_shortcode( '[link href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>"]View portfolio[/link]'); ?>
       ```
   
 * I tried the above code but it didn’t work. It didn’t recognize the php code after
   the facebook share link. See the URL it shows below
 * [http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=%3C?php%20echo%20urlencode(get_permalink()](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=%3C?php%20echo%20urlencode(get_permalink()));%
   20?%3E

 * PHP is not executed inside a shortcode. That would be a serious security hole.

    Thanks for your
   fast reply sir. Is there no other way to achieve that. Even if it’s a php function.
   I have little knowledge of php.

 * You might ask the mycred folks, since it’s their shortcode. I recommend asking
   at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mycred/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mycred/#new-post)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * You cannot nest PHP blocks and PHP code cannot be passed to do_sbortcode() per
   se, but you can concatenate the string passed to do_shortcode(). For example:
 *     ```
       <?php
         do_shortcode('[foo id="' . get_queried_object_id() . '"]');
       ?>
       ```

   above. Please can you provide me the full code. Thank you very much sir!
