judda Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hello all, Newbie alert ! Really stuck on this bit of code, tried a few searches but now more confused I want to create an html table and popluate it with some images, the path of which is the result of a mysql search, I'm tying myself in knots with the basic php/html syntax.... This is the current incarnation.... print "<tr><td><a href=$imagetoshow><img src=$imagetoshow></a></td><td>$title $subtitle</td><td>$location</td><td>$blurb</td></tr>"; The images doesn't show, a blank/broken placeholder does show as a hyperlink but not to a url that makes sense. If I forget the hyperlink bit I can get an image to show fine What am I missing ?

fugix Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 you have forgotten to place you href and src attributes inside of quotations. print "<tr><td><a href='$imagetoshow'><img src='$imagetoshow'></a></td><td>$title $subtitle</td><td>$location</td><td>$blurb</td></tr>"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240607-help-creating-a-hyperlink-with-images-stored-in-variables/#findComment-1235839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugix Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 ah I see, that would explain it. Glad you found your error. I don't recommend storing HTML code inside of a variable in the future, causes confusion when incorporating the variable into your code.
