Nisa8 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 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.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 ONLY use full opening php tags <?php. In your case, use php <?php echo Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/221774-embedded-image-not-showing/#findComment-1147790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisa8 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi, Thanks alot. That worked. So is <?= a legitamate tag because that is what they use in the tut, unless it's a typo? Nisa.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 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.
