Convert While loop number to images

[wispas]

i want to create a star system for my site.

 

what i am doing is creating a variable with a number and want it to output a number of stars based on my variable. can this be achieved.

 

not sure if i am on right steps, but i currently have a while loop set up

 

<?php

 

$starter = 0;

$empty = 5;

// echo $empty;

 

while ($starter < $empty){

 

$starter = $starter + 1;

echo $starter;

 

}

 

?>

 

this gives me the following:

12345

 

instead of numbers i want it to loop the same image and output stars based on my $empty variable. is this possible?

Cant you just change the echo statement to output the image? like

 

echo '<img src="your star image" />';

Someone showed me on another forum. Works Perfectly:

 

for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)

    echo '<img src="path/to/star.gif" alt=""/>'; 

 

Thanks for the help!

OK looks like that should work providing you replace the 5 with the actual number of stars you want
