Hi amsimaganti!

First of all you should learn why you can't simply write html code in PHP:

If you have a var, f.e. $foo = ""; you can't just simply write $foo = " lorem"ip"sum" for example cause PHP in this case won't understand that the var should end at the end of this phrase, it thinks the variable ends at ...lorem" and that " lorem" is the whole string.

So you have to encode the html string a bit with f.e. HTML numbers or ASCII Code.

F.e. lets take <button class="rounded", this should be 'translated' into:

<button class=<rounded<, etc.

<?php echo $curimg?>

should be

<?php echo $curimg; ?>

you forgot a semi-colon.

Ah 🙂 sorry 'bout that.. thought he had to output the whole html code.

You can also write it like this <?=$curimg;?>..

php short tags is deprecated and turn off by default on most servers, so its better to use the long version for better portability
