Dynamic Pictures

[Oliphaunt182]

I'm creating a dynamic webpage and I'm trying to load .gif picture however issues arise when I put part of the file and directory in a saved variable. Here is working code that pulls the image:

$home = '<img id="'. $result1 .'" src="teams\pit. gif" style="Z-INDEX: 108; LEFT: 842px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 226px"/>';

echo $home;

As you can see the image displays in the absolute position and thus works fine but its not dynamic. Here is what doesn't work:

$home = '<img id="'. $result1 .'" src="teams\'. $result1 .'.gif" style="Z-INDEX: 108; LEFT: 842px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 226px"/>';

echo $home;

where $result1 is pulled from a database and is "pit"

I already have a banner on this page that dynamically loads that works fine however this is being stubborn.



UPDATE Working on the problem I've seemed to have narrowed it down to a problem with the \ followed immediately by the '. part.


Thanks,

You mixed up the single and double quote tags. I put all between double quotes and make attribute fields single quoted. That way you can store variables in the string withou concatenation.
[php]$home = "<img id='$result1' src='teams$resu lt1.gif'
style='Z-INDEX: 108; LEFT: 842px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 226px' />";[/php]
