Struggling with ECHO command

[ceeandcee]

Here is what I have

echo "<img src='/images/bar_".$row['teamA'].".jpg'>";

in this example teamA = irish

What I want to output is

<img src='/images/bar_irish.jpg'>

I think it is a simple syntax. What am I missing?

[mschroeder]

That echo statement works for me without any issue. Can you post what you are getting errors and/or output when you run it?

[ceeandcee]

I get the red x as it is not finding the image. I know the image is there because when I hard code it, i get the image. It seems not to be populate the word "irish' where I need it.

[pwinfrey]

What do you get when you echo $row?

[ceeandcee]

What do you get when you echo $row?

irish

[griswolf]

Try this?( no guarantee) echo "<img src='/images/bar_".{$row['teamA']}.".jpg'>";

[pwinfrey]

Have you looked at the source code to see what it displays?

[ceeandcee]

Try this?( no guarantee) echo "<img src='/images/bar_".{$row['teamA']}.".jpg'>";

Sorry..no luck. Get this msg

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\cornwallfantasyhockey.com\httpdocs\cfhl\trades\index.php on line 37

Yes...this is what I get....
<img src='/images/bar_.jpg'>

[pwinfrey]

Can you post your array and additional code, please?

[mschroeder]

Your echo statement is correct.

<?php
$row['teamA'] = 'irish';
echo "<img src='/images/bar_".$row['teamA'].".jpg'>";

yields

<img src='/images/bar_irish.jpg'>

Is it failing to display for all iterations of your loop or is it only on particular ones? I assume you've omitted the loop to simplify the code posted.

[ceeandcee]

I tried to keep the post simple....but in every instance, it doesnt work

[mschroeder]

Can you do a print_r($row) and post the output from 1 iteration of the loop?

I'm sorry, i dont understand what you are asking me to do

[mschroeder]

$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );

after that line, add:

print_r($row);

this will probably make a mess out of the table layout, but paste the output from that function here. That should indicate whether the problem is in the row array or not.

Output should be something like:

Array
(
    [tradeID] => xxxx
    [Date] => xxxxx
    [teamA] => xxxx
    ....
)

Thanks everyone...I saw my error! What a dummy!

I was calling for teamA and my field is TeamA

Thanks for all your help!
