PHP WordPress quotes issue

February 17, 20231 Views

Having a quotes issue, need a second pair of eyes!

echo "<img src='" . bloginfo('template_url') . "img/" . $f['mainImage'] . ".png' />";

Using the WordPress function bloginfo to get the theme path!

All i’m getting is the path printed out on the page, no image!

Thanks

What is output:

<img src="/img/digital.png">

The function bloginfo() performs its own echo.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo

In your situation, you would use this code:
```
echo "<img src='"; bloginfo('template_url'); echo "img/" . $f['mainImage'] . ".png' />";
```

bloginfo() is only used to directly output the requested value. Use get_bloginfo() instead to work with the value before echo’ing it.
```
echo sprintf(
    '<img src="%s/img/%s.png" />', 
    get_bloginfo('template_url'), 
    $f['mainImage']
);
```

As jnpcl has surmised, it looks like bloginfo() is print out the data for you.

You’ve got two options:
- use the get_bloginfo() function, which wont just print it out but return it instead
- Take that into account, echo part of the image tag, call the function, echo the rest
