escape char

[PaulaRun]

I'm still struggling with displaying my db search results in html within php code. The first 2 lines work and the 3rd doesn't. How can I display an image?

Many thanks to anybody who can help!

echo "<td width=\"33%\" height=\"16\"><font size=\"2\">".stripslashes($row["product_no"])."</font></td>";
echo "<td width=\"33%\" rowspan=\"4\" height=\"105\"><font size=\"2\">";

echo "<img border=\"0\" src=.stripslashes($row[\"image_path\"]). width=\"140\" height=\"60\"></font></td>";

[sglane]

echo "<img border=\"0\" src=.stripslashes($row[\"image_path\"]). width=\"140\" height=\"60\"></font></td>";

should be

echo "<img border=\"0\" src=\"" . stripslashes($row["image_path"]) . "\" width=\"140\" height=\"60\"></font></td>";

That worked!!!!

I really appreciate your help in this. I'm new at php and don't really understand when to use the the escape character - I've worked on this stupid thing for 2 days. Many thanks! 😃

Subject to much debate, but it is so much easier to escape PHP code only...

//php stuff up here

?>

<img border="0" src="<?php echo stripslashes($row["image_path"]) ?>" width="140" height="60"></font></td>

<?

or heredoc syntax:

$temp = stripslashes($row["image_path"]);

$output =<<<QQQ
<img border="0" src="{$temp}" width="140" height="60"></font></td>
QQQ;

echo $output;
