Check again, because it should.

 

Any errors you get? (You have error_reporting enabled, right? )

[Graxeon]

Try putting it in the <?php ?> tags?

Try putting the code in without all the formatting. Then you'll no whether its the formatting thats annoying it.

 

Do this:

$logo = '<img src="Images/tvguide/sabc1.jpg">';
echo $logo;

Define: "it wont work"

 

For all we know the php code is functioning correctly but you don't have the correct path to the image so you are getting a broken image displayed when the browser renders the html.

A) You should be learning php, developing php code, and debugging php code on a system with error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that php will help you. (Confirm the actual settings using a phpinfo() statement in case the php.ini that you are changing is not the one that php is using.) You will save a ton of time.  There would have been an undefined error message in your main code concerning $logo that would have alerted you to the fact that it does not exist in your main code because you are setting it inside of a function and it only exists inside of that function.

 

B) The two lines of code you posted in the first post, that you then expected everyone to be able to tell you why it did not work IS DEFINITELY NOT the actual code that does not work. Posting lines of code out of context, in this case way way out of context, just wastes everyone's time and almost always prevents getting a solution.

 

C) The point of functions are that they (optionally) accept input parameters, perform a (one) useful operation that your application needs, and returns the result that they produce. The purpose of your GetGuide() function is to produce and return $FGuide. The code in the GetGuide() function that is testing $_GET['channel'] for the purpose of setting $logo has nothing to do with producing and returning $FGuide and the code setting $logo should either be part of your main application code (right before where $logo is used) or it should be put into its' own function.
