Echo/print an image in php script

[Anon]

Hi there

I wish to call an image (.jpg) as a result of an action inside a php script. I've tried various ways to do this, all without success.

Do you have any sample code or suggestions??

echo "<img src=bla.jpg>";

Hi Vincent

This works. Many thanks!

Can't seem to get my alignment and ALT working but will keep trying.

Regards

are you enclosing them in brackets?

you need to put a slash infront of any brackets that you want PHP to echo (to escape them), so you have:

echo "<img src=\"blah.jpg\" alt=\"blah\" align=\"right\">";

hope that helps

You mean you should escape quotes, not brackets.
brackets are {}[]<>

eerrrr, yeah, sorry :/

Lucky I put in an example I guess.

Hi Jamie

Thanks! Got the ALT working ok.

For some strange reason, I can't get the image to align center. It seems to stay left. But when I do align=\"right\" it works well. I dunno....anyway, thanks.

There is no align=center option for the image tag in HTML specs, only left and right (for horizontal alignment anyway). If it's on a horizontal line by itself (like a banner in the top center of a page), you can use a DIV tag like this:

'<div align=center><img src=blah.jpg></div>'

If that's no good, maybe you sould use a table. It depends on your layout really.

It worked! For the benefit of others who want to know, here is the string:

echo "<div align=center><img src=\"../images/bla.jpg\" alt=\"bla bla\" ></div>";

Thanks to you all! The benefits of combined knowledge in this forum is truely amazing.

Cheers
