Permalink in anchor tag in wordpress
<p>I'm trying to set permalink in anchor tag in Wordpress, but I'm getting the following result:</p>

<p><a href="http://localhost/mysite/the_permalink()" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/mysite/the_permalink()</a>;</p>

<p>Here is my code:</p>

<pre><code> $result .= '&lt;footer&gt;&lt;a href="the_permalink();'.$link_value.'" &gt;'.get_the_title().'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/footer&gt;';
</code></pre>

<p>How can I fix this ?</p>
