problem with avatar in chat windo

[pwesthead]

Hi i have a chat written in php and as3

at the moment the chat window shows username and message but i want to add a avatar before the username.

here is the code i have.

 

 

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM chat75 ORDER BY date_time ASC");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {

      $id = $row["id"];

      $user_name = $row["user_name"];

      $chat_body = $row["chat_body"];

      $num = $row["avatar"];

      $date_time = $row["date_time"];

      $chat_body = stripslashes($chat_body);

        $chat_body = eregi_replace("'", "'", $chat_body);

      $string =array();

$files = glob("../images/avs/*.*");

for ($i=1; $i<count($files); $i++)

{

  $num = $files[$i];

 

  }

        $body .= '<b><font color="#006699">' . $num . ': ' . $user_name . ':

     

      <font color="#000000"> ' . $chat_body . '</font>

        <br />';

 

    }

 

this is what i get in the chat window

Hi i tried the code you put but just get a blank screen, iv tried eveything but no joy

$body = "<b><span style='color:#006699;'>" . $num . ": " . $user_name . ;

 

also might want to double check the path to your image.

My code should work fine. What do you see when you view the source of the page?

Actually, looking at it again, there would be an unclosed <font> tag. Fix that and you should be golden. Better still, don't use font tags, they are pretty 1995.

Hi no it does not work if i use this works fine but as soon as i add the avatar bit no joy

 

$body .= '<b><font color="#006699"> ' . $user_name . ':

   

    <font color="#000000"> ' . $chat_body . '</font>

        <br />';
