Question

This is a quick but simple question. I am having a bad day and don’t know how to do this:

What I need to do is this…

I am checking for PMD in the url if so echo this:

<?php 
        if ( isset($_GET['pmd']) ) { 
          echo"<div class=\"response\"><p style=\"width:350px; height:200px; vertical-align:middle;\"><strong>Thank you for acting as a &quot;watchman on the walls&quot; of Jerusalem! Your name will now appear on our virtual wall.<br><br>You can also catch up on the latest news from Israel by visiting our news feed below.</strong></p></div>";
        }else { etc...

What I need to include within that is an image like such that is firing off a tracking pixel.

<img src="url.com?cid=12345&aid=1234&oid=<?php echo mt_rand(); ?>&quantity=1" height="1" width="1" />

What I would like to have is:

<?php 
        if ( isset($_GET['pmd']) ) { 
          echo"<div class=\"response\"><p style=\"width:350px; height:200px; vertical-align:middle;\"><strong>Thank you for acting as a &quot;watchman on the walls&quot; of Jerusalem! Your name will now appear on our virtual wall.<br><br>You can also catch up on the latest news from Israel by visiting our news feed below.</strong></p>
          <br />
          <img src="url.com?cid=12345&aid=1234&oid=<?php echo mt_rand(); ?>&quantity=1" height="1" width="1" />
          </div>";
        }else {

What do I need to do to get that mt_rand() function to fire?

Thanks,

Matt

You could use this syntax instead:

<?php if ( isset($_GET['pmd']) ): ?>
    <div class="response"><p style="width:350px; height:200px; vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Thank you for acting as a &quot;watchman on the walls&quot; of Jerusalem! Your name will now appear on our virtual wall.<br><br>You can also catch up on the latest news from Israel by visiting our news feed below.</strong></p>
      <br />
      <img src="url.com?cid=12345&aid=1234&oid=<?php echo mt_rand(); ?>&quantity=1" height="1" width="1" />
    </div>
<?php else: ?>
    etc
<?php endif; ?>
