    Who Will Help a Newby Like Me?

    I can't get the following page to display the img, whose name is
    passed in the URL. The variable, showme, is the name of a jpg file
    (e.g., coolpict.jpg). It is being passed correctly, as verified by the
    echo line (only there for testing purposes), but it doesn't get
    translated in the img tag.

    <html>

    <head>
    <title>Images </title>
    <style type="text/css">
    body {background:gra y; text-align:center;}
    img {margin:10%;}
    </style>
    </head>

    <body>

    <? echo $_GET['showme'] ?>

    <img src= <? $_GET['showme'] ?> >

    </body>
    </html>

      The correct shortcut for outputting a variable is <?= $_GET['showme'] ?>.
      You're missing the equal sign.

          Try <img src="<?php echo $_GET['showme']?>" alt="">

          If you have in php.ini
          short_open_tag = On

          You can use

          <img src="<?= $_GET['showme']?>" alt="">
