Simple If Statement In Html-Java

[phpjayx]

I'm new to this stuff, so I'm sure its something simple....

 

 

I'm attempting to load in a default picture if one from the database isn't defined

 

Its not working, is there anything I'm doing incorrect here?

 

Thanks in advance

 

---------------------------

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.2.js">

if(<?php echo $picture?>!=""){

<img id="img_background"src="<?php echo $picture?>" />

else

<img id="img_background"src="LogoColorTextBelow.png" />

}

I figured it out.....................

 

 

<?php if($picture!="") : ?>

<img id="img_background"src="<?php echo $picture?>" />

<?php else : ?>

<img id="img_background"src="LogoColorTextBelow.png" />

<?php endif; ?>
