Help with Syntax

[NorthGeorgiaWeather]

I have this code that I want to add a hyperlink to. The code works as is (this is obviously only part of it). The code is looking at the time stamp of the file and doing some calculations. I want to add the hyperlink to the code in red so the user can click on the linmk and open the file. The link in green is the path and file that would be in the hyperlink.

if(file_exists('\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt')) {
         do_check("NWS Mobile - CWFMOB",'\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt',60*60*60,'\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt');

Sorry, not much help. I know how to do hyperlinks, but in this case, not within this particular piece of PHP code. I'm looking for what quotes or other delimiters to stick the hyperlink "inside" of.

Here's some code with and without the hyperlink. My confusion is where to use quotes and where to use ticks

if(file_exists('\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt')) {
           do_check('<a href="\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt' title="Coastal Water Forecast" target="_self">CWFMOB</a>','\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt',60*60*60,'\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt');
        
        

This code works assuming I enter the correct file paths

        if(file_exists('TRACReport.txt')) {
           do_check("Nexstorm TRACreport",'TRACReport.txt',10*60+15,'file');

Ticks are only used in SQL queries around identifiers.

When using quotes (single or double) they should be in matching opening and closing pairs.

 do_check('<a href="\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt' title="Coastal Water Forecast" target="_self">CWFMOB</a>','\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt',60*60*60,'\emwin ...');
          ^..............................^       ^......................^        ^.....^           ^.^                     ^..........^
                   

As you can see, you href does not have matching opening and closing quotes, throwinng other pairs out of synch.

try

 do_check('<a href="\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt" title="Coastal Water Forecast" target="_self">CWFMOB</a>','\emwin\adm\cwfmob.txt',60*60*60,'\emwin ...');
                   ^.....................^       ^......................^        ^.....^             
          ^........................................................................................^ ^.....................^          ^..........^
