Question

Probably another basic question but its been annoying me for a while now…

I have a php file which is included on a php web page to bring in dynamic content from my mysql database.

Everything works fine with this except when i try get pictures to work and here is the problem.

I am using the code:

echo "<img src=fishery_images/$region/$url/$url1.jpg'/>";

All of which has been selected from the correct table and so on. an example of what i want this to resolve to is below:

fishery_images/fife/goldenloch/goldenloch1.jpg

However because i have the code:

$url1.jpg

and $url1 is not defined as anything then it resolves as the following:

fishery_images/fife/goldenloch/.jpg

i can have anything from goldenloch1.jpg all the way to goldenloch10.jpg so need to be able to say which image should be used.

how is it i say $url1.jpg without meaning $url1?

Really hope this makes sense… and thanks in advance

echo "<img src=fishery_images/{$region}/{$url}/{$url}1.jpg'/>";
