Hello there,
I am an absolute beginner in php world, trying to self study
I would like to populate an image however it only gives broken square in the browser, my images are stored in the same folder, i am using this script
(when i use html, image is displayed)
<?PHP

$kitten_image = 0;
$church_image = 1;

if ($kitten_image == 1)
{
print ("<IMG SRC =images/kitten.jpg>");
}
else {
print ("<IMG SRC =images/church.jpg>");
}

i appreciate your help.
Many thanks.😕

You should quote the src attribute's value (being careful to either use the single quotes if you use double quotes around the entire string, or vice versa -- or else escaping the internal quotes with back-slashes):

print "<img src='images/church.jpg' alt=''>"; // alt is require attribute, even if empty

Of course, there could be other issues, but that's the first thing I noticed. 🙂

If they are all in the same folder, why do you indicate another folder (images)?

Agree with johanafm. Try this:

print "<img src='church.jpg' alt=''>"; // alt is require attribute, even if empty

If you have the images/kitten.jpg that means that your images are actually in another folder other then your code folder.

Debug this by "view source" or equivalent in your browser. If you know HTML already, you should be able to give us some idea what's wrong. I do note you're calling the images folder as a relative path (under the folder your script is in). I can't tell if that's related to your problem.

You can evaluate a boolean value like this:

<?php

if ($kitten_img) {
   echo "meow";
}

// you don't need to do it this way:
if ($kitten_img==1) {
   echo "I love Friskies!";
}
