Syntax error--Adding HTML to PHP page

[chris86]

I'm trying to add an image (via HTML) to a PHP page.  I get a syntax error when I insert the following HTML code into the PHP page.  Below is the HTML code I inserted.     
[code]
<img src="http://www.domain.com/uploads/Image/flags.jpg" alt="description of image">
</img>
[/code]

What am I doing wrong?  Why the syntax error?

Get rid of the </img> tag...

Try:
[code]
<img src="http://www.domain.com/uploads/Image/flags.jpg" alt="description of image" />
[/code]

Thanks.  I killed the </img> tag, and inserted the code you suggested.  Unfortunately, I'm still getting a syntax error on line 2.  Looks like PHP doesn't like the "<" sign. 

Error message reads...

syntax error, unexpected '<' 

So, I deleted the <> tags and now I'm getting a syntax error that reads, "unexpected T_STRING".

Any other suggestions?  I'm just trying to add an image.

Oh, if you're print from the php, you need to escape the quotes... try this:

[code=php:0]
<?php
echo "<img src=\"http://www.domain.com/uploads/Image/flags.jpg\" alt=\"description of image\">";
?>
[/code]

If that doesn't work, post the code you have.

That worked!  Fantastic, thanks.
