[RESOLVED] Convert to lowercase within a dynamic image source

[eeastman]

Hello,

I have the following code as a dynamic image link. I need both last_name and first_name to be converted to lower case. How do I add that to my current code?

<img src="/images/art/<?php echo $row_rsArtists['last_name']; ?>.<?php echo $row_rsArtists['first_name']; ?>/<?php echo $row_rsArtists['img_loc'];?>" border="0" />

Thank you!

[man]strtolower/man

I know that is the funcution but I can't figure out where to put it within my exsisting code. I keep getting errors. Thanks.

Well instead of simply echo'ing the variable, you'd echo the result of the function... show us what you tried that gave you errors.

This was a complete shot in the dark:
<img src="/images/art/$str = $row_rsArtists['last_name'].$row_rsArtists['first_name']/$row_rsArtists['img_loc'];?>;
$str = strtolower($str); echo $str;?> border="0" />

This is the code that I am trying to modify:
<img src="/images/art/<?php echo $row_rsArtists['last_name']; ?>.<?php echo $row_rsArtists['first_name']; ?>/<?php echo $row_rsArtists['img_loc'];?>" border="0" />

It should be:

<img src="/images/art/<?php echo strtolower($row_rsArtists['last_name']); ?>.<?php echo strtolower($row_rsArtists['first_name']); ?>/<?php echo strtolower($row_rsArtists['img_loc']);?>" border="0" />

Actually, you probably should also use [man]htmlspecialchars/man to prevent malicious scripting from working.

Thank you!! It worked no problem.

You're welcome, but please try and understand what my example is about.
