Background image issues

[ondi]

Hi, I'm trying to get an image to appear underneath my text (i.e. a table background image, but i keep getting the error code

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/fhlinux222/w/walthamforest-fc.co.uk/user/htdocs/stats/test.php on line 39

 

Could someone have a look at my snippet of code and see where im going wrong? Thanks

 

echo"<center>
<table><tr>
<td align=\"center\"><table background="http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatch.jpg">
<img src=\"/stats/images/opponentlogo_$data[opp_id].jpg\"></td>
</tr></table>
$data[time]<br>
$data[type]<br>
$data[opp]<br>
HOME - $data[stadium]<br>
Kick off: $data[clock]<br><br>
</center>";

Problem is here..

 

<table background="http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatch.jpg">

 

Forgot to escape your quotes...

 

<table background=\"http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatch.jpg\">

 

I've always found it much easier to use single quotes when echoing HTML. That way you don't have to escape the double quotes for every attribute...

Cheers A, that got rid of my error, but now the image wont show

 

When i view the page source it says that the image is there, but i cant see it! Ho hum

Any ideas guys?

Copy the image url and paste it in your browser, see if it works.

 

If it does not, chances are the URL is pointing to the wrong spot.

Yup, the image works: http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/nextmatch.jpg
