Echoing PHP within HTML

I am currently trying to create a shopping cart for my website and I have images of products stored in a database and I want to include them within <img src> . By putting $get_row[imagesrc] within the src. I need to know the correct way to add it to the below code as I dont fully understand the ' and . tags

    echo '<p>'.$get_row['name'].'<br/>'.$get_row['description'].'<br/>'.$get_row['imagesrc'].
'<br/>&pound;'.number_format($get_row['price'],2).'<a href="cart.php?add='.$get_row['id'].'">Add</a></p>';

. concatenates two strings, and ' is wrapped around a string.

so

echo 'Hello '.'World'; // Shows Hello World

I'd split yours up to make it easier to read:

echo '<p>';
    echo $get_row['name'].'<br/>';
    echo $get_row['description'].'<br/>';
    echo '<img src="'.$get_row['imagesrc'].'" /><br/>';
    echo '&pound;'.number_format($get_row['price'],2);
    echo '<a href="cart.php?add='.$get_row['id'].'">Add</a>';
echo '</p>';

But it all looks OK.

Check out this way of including PHP in your HTML. It's much easier to read and maintain. The last line in the paragraph is your image tag.

<p>
    <?php echo $get_row['name']; ?><br/>
    <?php echo $get_row['description']; ?><br/>
    <?php echo $get_row['imagesrc']; ?><br/>
    &pound;<?php echo number_format($get_row['price'],2); ?>
    <a href="cart.php?add=<?php echo $get_row['id']; ?>">Add</a>
    <img src="<?php echo $get_row['imagesrc']; ?>" />
</p>

A specific answer has been given:

echo '<img src="'.$get_row['imagesrc'].'">';

Nonetheless, it's worth adding that you should:

  • You should escape output - with htmlspecialchars() or otherwise.

    echo '<img src="' . htmlspecialchars($get_row['imagesrc']) . '">';

  • Read the documentation on PHP Strings.

echo '<img src="'.$get_row['imagesrc'].'">';

Try that.

This should achieve what you're looking for:

echo '<p>'.$get_row['name'].'<br/>'.$get_row['description'].'<br/><img src="'.$get_row['imagesrc'].'" /><br/>&pound;'.number_format($get_row['price'],2).'<a href="cart.php?add='.$get_row['id'].'">Add</a></p>';

The ' character defines a string literal when it is wrapped around a series of characters.
The . character is used for concatenating strings for output or storage.

echo '<p>'.$get_row['name'].'<br/>
<img src="'.$get_row['imagesrc'].'" alt="'.$get_row['name'].'"><br/>
<br/>&pound;'.number_format($get_row['price'],2).'
<a href="cart.php?add='.$get_row['id'].'">Add</a></p>';`
