    Hi everyone,

    I have the following code in an include:

    <?php 
$itemSwatchBoth = $item['itemSwatchBoth'];
$itemSwatchFemale = $item['itemSwatchFemale'];
$itemSwatchMale = $item['itemSwatchMale']; 


if (($itemSwatchFemale != "") && ($itemSwatchMale != ""))
	echo "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchFemale} border="0" alt="" /></p>" . "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchMale} border="0" alt="" /></p>"; 
	
	elseif ($itemSwatchFemale != "")
	echo "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchFemale} border="0" alt="" /></p>"; 
	
	elseif ($itemSwatchMale != "")
	echo "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchMale} border="0" alt="" /></p>"; 
	
	elseif ($itemSwatchBoth != "")
	echo "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchBoth} border="0" alt="" /></p>"; 

	else
	echo "";
?>
    PHP:
    When I test I get the following error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/new_site/includes/item_swatches.inc.php on line 8

    Line 8 is:

    	echo "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchFemale} border="0" alt="" /></p>" . "<p><img src="../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchMale} border="0" alt="" /></p>";
    PHP:
    I'm pretty sure it's to do with having to escape some quotes but I'm not sure which one.

    Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    Appreciate any help.

    Try: 
    <?php
	$itemSwatchBoth = $item['itemSwatchBoth'];
	$itemSwatchFemale = $item['itemSwatchFemale'];
	$itemSwatchMale = $item['itemSwatchMale'];

	if (($itemSwatchFemale != "") && ($itemSwatchMale != ""))
	{
		echo "<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchFemale} border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>\" . \"<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchMale} border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>";
	} elseif ($itemSwatchFemale != "") {
		echo "<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchFemale} border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>";
	} elseif ($itemSwatchMale != "") {
		echo "<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchMale} border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>";
	} elseif ($itemSwatchBoth != "") {
		echo "<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchBoth} border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>";
	} else {
		echo "";
	}
?>

    have to escape " inside of "'s (and you left out the " for the end of the src attribute)

    echo "<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchFemale}\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>" . "<p><img src=\"../../../../images/shirts_blouses/swatches/{$itemSwatchMale}\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" /></p>";
