I’m very new to php, and I’m doing some experimenting. I have a php book, and I can’t find the answer to this in there or on google…

I have a site like the following: [http://beta.morsedesigns.com/gallery.php](http://beta.morsedesigns.com/gallery.php). In the big black space in the center, I would like to display an image. But what is the best way to display an image through php (with echos and such, or what?), especially an image in a big table?

Just do a

\<?PHP  
//Your script to generate a url of a photo  
//Such as image.jpg  
//and set that to a variable called $photoURL  
?\>  
\<img src="\<?= $photoURL ?\>"\>
