Include an image in PHP

Jack! · 02-06-2010, 07:06 PM

Im slowly learning diffrent things about php, and my website is coded in PHP, i was just wondering how i would go about including an image. i take it its diffrent from HTML, because that throws up errors at me :rolleyes:

Ive also tried PHPInclude, no luck there either, please help! :S

what?

Wouldn't you just echo the image?

PHP Code:


<?php
echo("<img src='link/to/image.png'>");
?>

Remove the brackets from the echo tag

As a side note,

echo " You can't use any speech marks here in between the two end speech marks of the echo you need to use single quotes here ";

echo ' If you do need to use any double quotes, use single quotes at the end, but that means you can use single quotes in the echo ';

Probly confused you that though haha

Try putting { } brackets around the
$pageContent and $pageTitle

So it'll be {$pageContent} and {$pageTitle}
