Trying to get PHP code to work in wordpress

    I'm trying to use images for the next page and prev page links but I'm not very good with PHP so I think I am messing something up. If I put the relative path to the template the images work but if I try to call the images based on the template folder it fails. I'm trying to get the below code to work:

    <?php posts_nav_link(' ','<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/left.png" />','<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/right.png" />'); ?>
    Code (markup):
    I'm pretty sure it's just my syntax that's wrong I get a parsing error.

    <?php posts_nav_link(' ','<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/left.png" />','<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/right.png" />'); ?>

    you start a php code segment with <?php
    then in the function call you state src="<?php
    and there you start another code segment
    but you are already in the code segment

    '<img src="'.bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/left.png" />'

    should work?

    Hi Thanks for the suggestion, this is what I tried:

    <?php posts_nav_link(' ','<img src="'.bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/left.png" />','<img src="'.bloginfo('template_directory').'/images/right.png" />'); ?>
    Code (markup):
    This is the html it outputs, which doesn't work.

    http://mydomain.com/testwp/wp-content/themes/black bloghttp://mydomain.com/testwp/wp-content/themes/black blog<a href="http://mydomain.com/testwp/?paged=2"><img src="/images/right.png" /></a>
    Code (markup):
    That's the right path but it's placing the URL outside of the a and img tags. Did I not add your suggestion properly?

    This is the output with the above PHP code

    http://mydomain.com/testwp/wp-content/themes/black bloghttp://mydomain.com/testwp/wp-content/themes/black blog<a href="http://mydomain.com/testwp/"><img src="/images/left.png" /></a><a href="http://mydomain.com/testwp/?paged=3"><img src="/images/right.png" /></a>
    Code (markup):
    The html for each image should come out like this:

    <a href="http://mydomain.com/testwp/"><img src="http://mydomain.com/testwp/wp-content/themes/black blog/images/left.png" /></a><a href="http://mydomain.com/testwp/?paged=3"><img src="http://mydomain.com/testwp/wp-content/themes/black blog/images/right.png" /></a>
    Code (markup):
    As you can see it is placing the path to the template file outside of the html tags.
