Can a variable hold a graphic image

[dcjones]

Question, can i store a gif image in a variable. i.e

$varx = hello.gif
$vary = bye.gif

if $row["rate"] == "1"

echo $varx

else

if $row["rate"] == "2"

echo $vary

I am trying to show a symbol against a record to provide a quality of service in a customer table.

If it is possible what should the code look like,

Thanks in advance.

if I am understanding your question properly

$varx = hello.gif
$vary = bye.gif

if $row["rate"] == "1"

echo "<img src=\"".$varx."\">";

else

if $row["rate"] == "2"

echo "<img src=\"".$vary."\">";

Are you generationg html page? then you need not store the image in a variable, you need only the filename.

<img src="
<?
$varx = "hello.gif ";
$vary = "bye.gif";

if $row["rate"] == "1"
echo $varx;

elseif $row["rate"] == "2"
echo $vary;
?>
