    Your quotes are confusing me a little but I think the basic problem is that the character "\" is an escape character, so anything after it is treated as a literal.

    ie '\' would escape the quote ' which means you would need another quote to close the quote.

    What I usually do is break my string down into smaller strings to try and debug.

    So for example instead of the text

    '\'.$config[\'siteurl\'].\'/files/\'.$show[\'main\'][\'file\'].\''

    try something like

    $TheStr = $config['siteurl'] . '/files/' . $show['main']['file'];

    AC_AX_RunContent( 'width','480','height','480','src','" . $TheStr . "' etc.
