Facebook share button help

Question

I am developing a social sharing widget. It has Facebook sharing option too. I wrote the following link structure for it but when clicked, the page neither displays the link to share, nor the title and decription. Please help out. Thanks

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<?php get_permalink();?>&t=<?phpthe_title();?>">
Share</a>

Answer 1

You can try using this:

<?php
$title = get_the_title( $post_id );
$url = urlencode( get_permalink( $post_id ) );
?>

<a class="fb" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=<?php echo $title; ?>&p[url]=<?php echo $url; ?>">Share</a>

Answer 2

Try..

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=
<?php echo get_permalink( $post->ID );?>&t=
<?php echo get_the_title( $post->ID );?>">
Share
</a>

I've broken the link up onto separate lines for legibility so you can see what's going on..

Use, <?php echo get_permalink(); ?> and <?php echo get_the_title(); ?> and as Rarst mentioned be mindful of your syntax making sure to put a space between <?php [and your function call]...etc

note

If your widget is outside of the post loop then you will need to pass the Post ID (on single pages, use get_the_ID()) to both get_the_title and get_permalnik.
