PHP Server Side Scripting Forum

I did what you said and this is what I got back:
<div id="counter"><span class="countertext">you are visitor</span>
<img src=images/digits/1.gif><img src=images/digits/6.gif><img src=images/digits/9.gif> <span class="countertext"> thank you.</span> </div>
</div>

And these are the errors (15)on 1 line;

Line 128, column 15: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified

<img src=images/digits/1.gif><img src=images/digits/6.gif><img src=images/

Line 128, column 22: required attribute "alt" not specified

<img src=images/digits/1.gif><img src=images/digits/6.gif><img src=images/

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

Line 128, column 22: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

<img src=images/digits/1.gif ><img src=images/digits/6.gif><img src=images/

You may have neglected to close a tag, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" a tag; that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

However, this must be part of the php include file and I dont know how to change it. The counter.php file has this code and is echo'd out

// print the image for that digit
echo "<img src=images/digits/$digit.$imgExtension>";

// print the image for that digit
echo "<img src=images/digits/$digit.$imgExtension>";

Many ways to accomplish this, here are a few,

// use single quotes and escape them as necessary
echo '<img alt="description" src="images/digits/'. $digit . $imgExtension .'" />';

// use double quotes for php and escape them in the xhtml
echo "<img alt=\"description\" src=\"images/digits/". $digit . $imgExtension .\"" />";

// store everything in variables then concatenate
$image_begin = '<img alt="description" src="images/digits/';
$image_end = '" />';
echo $image_begin . $digit . $imgExtension . $image_end;

Thanks for your reply. Nearly there now but this is what has happend. I used this;

echo '<img alt="counter" src="images/digits/'. $digit . $imgExtension .'" />';

// print the image for that digit
echo "<img alt=\"counter\" src=\"images/digits/$digit.$imgExtension\" />";

Thanks both of you for your time.

// print the image for that digit
echo "<img src=images/digits/$digit.$imgExtension>";

The dot between $digit and $imgExtension isn't for concatinating but is seperating the filename from extension. Sorry, wasn't paying attention.

echo '<img alt="text" src="images/digits/'. $digit .'.'. $imgExtension .'>"';

Am impressed with this forum and the willingness for others to help beginners like me.

Your time was appreciated. Thanks
