[SOLVED] Can't get eccho to display an image

[gozbay.com]

Hello, I am not an expert on php but know some of the basics. My problem is that when I try to make the echo display an image it results in a syntax error. Below is the original code that displays text if $setts['swap_items']==1.

<? 
					if ($setts['swap_items']==1&&$auctionDetails['ownerid']!=$_SESSION['memberid']&&$auctionDetails['closed']!=1&&$auctionDetails['isswap']=="Y"&&$auctionDetails['deleted']!=1) {
						echo "<a href=\"swapitems.php?id=".$auctionDetails['id']."\">".$lang[offerswap]."</a>";
					} ?>

Would anyone be willing to show me how I would go about displaying a picture instead of the text? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what error are you getting?

 

to echo an image:

<?php
echo '<img src="filename" alt="alternative text" />';
?>

I recieve this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/gozbay/public_html/auctiondetails.php on line 688 when the echo looks like this

echo "<a href=\"swapitems.php?id=".$auctionDetails['id']'<img src="images/SWAP.gif" alt="Offer a Swap Deal" />';

Try this:

 

<?php

echo "<a href=\"swapitems.php?id=".$auctionDetails['id']."\"><img src=\"images/SWAP.gif\" alt=\"Offer a Swap Deal\" /></a>";

?>

No problem, you just weren't concating the string correctly, and forgot to escape some quotes with backslashes.
