Assign pictures to a string

[db01]

Can somebody help me - I am trying to assign a picture to a string i.e.

$pic = picture 1

how do I do this?

[Char]

Can you give more detail as to what you mean by assigning a picture to a string? Do you mean you want to assign the picture's name to a string, or that you want the picture to display when the string is outputted?

It might also be helpful if you tell us what you're trying to use it for.

I would like to be able to apply 2 pictures to 2 strings and use them in an if else statement connected with a database

if database = yes then echo "picture 1"
else if database = no then echo "picture2"

[Char]

If I understand you correctly, just assign the picture's path to a string, then do an if else statement like this:

$picture1 = "path/to/picture1.jpg";
$picture2 = "path/to/picture2.jpg";

if(ifstatement) {

echo "<img src='$picture1'>";

} else {

echo "<img src='$picture2'>";

}

Hope that clarifies,
