[Resolved] Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this code?

[RabidKoala]

This works (HTML):

<img src=images\MVC-001S.JPG>

This doesn't:

<?
echo "<img src=images\MVC-001S.JPG>";
?>

Wonder why?🙁

What gets output? Try this.

<?php
echo "<img src=images\MVC-001S.JPG>";
?>

If you had done a view source on the output html you would have seen this

<img src=imagesMVC-0015.JPG>

This is because the \ character is the escape character in php, so in order to print a \ you have to escape it like this \. This means your final code should look like this:

<?php
echo "<img src=images\\\\MVC-001S.JPG>";
?>

however to make this well formed html you should do this instead:

<?php
echo "<img src=\"images\\\\MVC-001S.JPG\">";
?>

That did it on both my system and the web server.

Thanks again.

I know this is resolved, and pardon me for asking, but why go against the norm when it comes to passing paths and url information?

Just wondering... I would personally use the front slash in my paths and code it more like this...

<?php 
echo "<img src=\"./images/MVC-001S.JPG\">"; 
?>

RabidKoala, you always want to get in the habit of quoting the attributes you define for tags, for good HTML/XHTML code validation. (Just an FYI)
