Jessica Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If you know HTML, then you know how to put in an image. What is the problem? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/270574-help-with-code-syntax/#findComment-1391752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neodjandre Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) i get confused with the dots "." and the " ' " in the above syntax... worst thing is that when i upload the file to my server, the whole site crashes and i can't play around with trial and error...

That's why you shouldn't introduce untested code to a production environment. Set up a local testing server, and use an editor that has decent syntax highlighting.
