PHP echo variable not appearing correctly

February 24, 20231 Views

I have the following

 <?php echo '<img src="/wp-content/themes/CAFC/images/cards/big/'.get_post_meta($post->ID, "bigcard", true).'" alt="'.the_title().'" />'; ?>

For some reason however my ‘the_title’ variable is appearing before my image when outputted as so…

UK Fuels Fuel Card
<img alt="" src="/wp-content/themes/CAFC/images/cards/big/ukfuels.png">

Can anybody give me an idea of where im going wrong?

This is because the_title() auto echoes the title. Try get_the_title() instead.

Try to use as:
```
$title = the_title();
```
and, use this $title in place of the_title();

Use this instead:

<?php echo '<img src="/wp-content/themes/CAFC/images/cards/big/'.get_post_meta($post->ID, "bigcard", true).'" alt="'.get_the_title().'" />'; ?>

I think it’s your browser. It changes the position of attributes for you. F. ex. Firefox can fix some HTML code according to standard.
