Stop processing periods

Hi, I'm a newbie to PHP and have very little experience so sorry if this is a stupid question.

As far as I can tell, PHP ignores periods ([color=red][size=18pt][i][b].[/b][/i][/size][/color]).
I have a php script which involves changing a filename and I cannot get the file extension to work because the periods are removed.

So the file test.jpg is processed by the server and delivered to the browser as testjpg
This obviously results in broken links.

I'm sure there is an obvious solution but I have searched php.net and google and these returned nothing.

[code]<? echo "<img src=\"" . $target_directory$id[color=red][i][b].[/b][/i][/color]jpeg . "\" alt=\"" . $comments . "\"/>" ?>[/code]

The variable $target_directory = "../../images/"
and $id is the id in a mysql database.

In the source code of my browser it reads:
[code]<img src="0jpeg" alt="e3"/>[/code]

So the period between $id and jpeg has been removed, breaking the link.
