if statement

[manicleek]

I'm trying to get an image to appear on my page
but only if the image name field is filled in in the db

My code is

<?php
if ($detailpic2 <> "") {
echo "<img src=\"[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.marinasonline.net/images/marinapics/$detailpic2\"[/URL] align=\"left\" width=\"150\">";<br><br>
}
?>

but I get the error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in udetails.php on line 56

line 56 being the above code

 

[manicleek]

sorry, line 56 is the echo line

 

[manicleek]

never mind, its the <br>'s

Make better use of single and double quotes. Use single quotes to enclose parts of your string that are not dynamic. Include the HTML double quotes for the attributes within the single quotes. Then use concatenation to infuse the variables. Escaped double quotes just make the code extremely unreadable.

<?php
if ($detailpic2 != "") {
echo '<img src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.marinasonline.net/images/marinapics/'.$detailpic2.'"[/URL] align="left" width="150"><br><br>';
}
?>
