PHP issue

hi

ive got a for loop which outputs gif's on the page.
However i want to add alt text to each of these gif's
The alt text's are defined as here:
DEFINE("_HEB_1", "oNE");



here is the loop

[PHP]
<?php
$pieces = explode(",", $rows->params);
for($i=0;$i < count($pieces);$i++){
?>
<img src="components/com_heb/images/<?php echo $pieces[$i];?>.gif" alt="<?php echo _HEB_ $i;?>">
<?php
}
?>

[/PHP]



however the alt text i get is actually _HEB_0 , _HEB_1 etc as opposed to oNE etc etc

can anyone help?

Is it because you've got a space between _HEB_ and $i - so it'd be _HEB_ 1 instead of _HEB_1?

Also try echo("_HEB_$i");

I'm only guessing but i'm assuming you're trying to make a string out of _HEB_ and whatever value $i has, something like _HEB_1?

[PHP]
<?
$pieces = explode(",", $rows->params);
for($i=0;$i < count($pieces);$i++){
?>
<img src="components/com_heb/images/<?=$pieces[$i]?>.gif" alt="<?=" _HEB_".$i?>">
<?
}
?>
[/PHP]

I think that should be ok now.

Ya im trying to make a string out of _HEB_ and whatever value $i has - however then i want to print the text associated with that global variable.

Your examples above only produce alt="_HEB_1" as opposed to alt="oNE"

Any ideas

Tnx

why not try this

<?php 
$heb = array('zero', 'one', 'two'); 

$pieces = explode(",", $rows->params); 
$size = count($pieces); 
for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) { 
    echo '<img src="components/com_heb/images/' 
        . $pieces[$i] . '.gif" alt="' 
        . $heb[$i] . '">'; 
		}
?>
