Question

I’m using following code to display an image with CodeIgniter framework.

<?php echo img('sample/logo.png'); ?>

And this is producing following output::

<img alt="" src="http://localhost:8080/test/css/sample/logo.png">

Why it does not closes the tag with />
Also, how can i specify the alt text when i echo image?
thanks

Answer 1

According to user guide, it should end with />. I tried it out, and it works.

If you want a shorter tag, use this:

<?php echo img(array('src'=>'image/picture.jpg', 'alt'=> 'alt information')); ?>

Sometimes if you view source using certain browsers (firefox, chrome), it omits the /> tag. Try view source using a notepad or something, it should display proper /> tag.
