Can't get an image to echo....

[suttercain]

Hi guys,

 

I am trying to get a simple gif to echo out to the browser. When I run:

echo "<img src=\"http://localhost/ARB/checked.gif\"/>";

 

or

 

echo "<img src=\"checked.gif\"/>";

 

I just get the code printed to the browser. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Are you sure your host supports php? Did you remember to save the file with the extension .php?

 

Try saving this a file with this text:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

 

As phpinfo.php and opening it. What do you see?

Hi Ginger, Yes I am running WAMP and am using php in many other documents on the LOCALHOST.

And are you sure you've remembered to open php (perhaps you've used a short opening tag, and short_open_tags is off?) I hope im not sounding patronizing, i just expect its something silly.

I'd try it in a different browser, (try refreshing the page first, though you've probably done that 30 times)

 

Also, try putting it into a variable first just to see what happens... i.e.

 

$echoiticommandyou = "<img src=\"checked.gif\"/>";

echo $echoiticommandyou;

Try This

 

 

<?php

echo '<img src="checked.gif">';

echo '<img src="http://localhost/ARB/checked.gif">';

?>

Hi guys,

 

Okay I just tried running this code:

 

<?php

echo '<img src="checked.gif">';

echo '<img src="http://localhost/ARB/checked.gif">';

?>

 

and it printed <img src="checked.gif"><img src="http://localhost/ARB/checked.gif"> to the browser. When I try to view the image by typing in http://localhost/ARB/checked.gif and the image showed up.

 

Any ideas?
