Embedded image not showing

[Nisa8]

Hi,

 

I'm quite new to PHP, at the moment I'm actually going through some tutorials to learn it properly.

I am using dreamweaver in code view to follow the tuts.

 

I am using the following code to embed an image into html with php:

<img src="<?= "../images/my_first_embedded_php.gif" ?>" width="380" height="23" hspace="0" vspace="0">

 

The link is relative to my image directory, but it isn't showing properly on my server (I'm using WAMP) (please see image).

 

The tutorial I am following has their image showing, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Nisa.

ONLY use full opening php tags <?php. In your case, use php <?php echo

Hi,

 

Thanks alot. That worked.

 

So is <?= a legitamate tag because that is what they use in the tut, unless it's a typo?

It's the lazy-way short open tag, which can be turned off on any particular server, and so has wasted many more man-hours than the few seconds it saves by not typing a few characters.

 

No published code should use it because it results in non-portable code.

Ahh ok, thanks for your help. I understand now.
