PHP inside HTML Comments/Tags

Question

Okay so here is my head

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title><?php echo $title ?></title>
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $metadescription ?>">
<meta name="author" content="Talk About Film">

</head>

and my pages

<?php 
$title ="Talk About Film | Trailers | <?php echo the_field('trailer_title'); ?>";
$metadescription= "Watch the latest trailer for <?php echo the_field('trailer_title'); ?>, watch the latest trailers at Talk About Film";
include 'includes/header.php' ?>

In the source however the PHP tags show not the content it pulls from the field. i.e

 <title>Talk About Film | Trailers | <?php the_field('trailer_title'); ?></title>

Not sure if you can use PHP in this way, or if there is a simple fix?

Try $title ="Talk About Film | Trailers | " . the_field('trailer_title') — putvande

You have <?php ?> tag into other <?php ?> tag.It is not correct.Fix it. — ops

You can't embed php within php like that. $meta = "Foo" . get_the_field(..) is what you need. — Marc B

<?php 
$title ="Talk About Film | Trailers | <?php echo the_field('trailer_title'); ?>";
$metadescription= "Watch the latest trailer for <?php echo the_field('trailer_title'); ?>, watch the latest trailers at Talk About Film";
include 'includes/header.php' ?>

should be

<?php 
$title ="Talk About Film | Trailers | " . the_field('trailer_title');
$metadescription= "Watch the latest trailer for " . the_field('trailer_title') . ", watch the latest trailers at Talk About Film";
include 'includes/header.php' ?>

You're already inside a <?php ?> block when you open another. Change it to this:

<?php 
$title ="Talk About Film | Trailers | ".the_field('trailer_title');
$metadescription= "Watch the latest trailer for ".the_field('trailer_title').", watch the latest trailers at Talk About Film";
include 'includes/header.php' ?>
