[Resolved] Easy Syntax Problem

busyguy78

I know this is an easy problem to fix, but being a newbie, I don't know where else to look...

I want to store an HTML img src tag as a variable, that way if there is no information, the image doesn't show up...

Here is the code where the variable is set...

	
$image = "<img src="/images/apartments/thumb/$id.gif" alt="" height="48" width="64" border="0">";

I'm pretty sure php doesn't like some of the HTML characters in the tag, and that there is a way to identify them as HTML characters...
I'm just not sure how...

Can someone show me...?

Thanks!!!

If it helps I'm using a statement like this with it...

if (empty($id))
{
  $image = "";
}
else
{
  $image = "<img src="/images/apartments/thumb/$id.gif" alt="" height="48" width="64" border="0">";
}

BuzzLY

if (empty($id)) {
  $image = "";
} else {
  $image = "<img src='/images/apartments/thumb/" . $id . ".gif' alt='' height='48' width='64' border='0'>";
}

Before I forget...
A bit of advice for anyone else that will use this...

It still gave me problems when I copied and pasted the adjusted code...
I was going to write a reply for more help...
Fortunately I previewed the post and noticed that there were extra spaces and they showed up as underscores on the post preview...

"_._$id_._"

I solved that problem by removing the extra spaces in the following bit of code...

".$id."

once I did that it worked great...
