parse error

[pneudralics]

Got this from the random pic tutorial here. I'm getting Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"', expecting ',' or ';'

The following is line 23:
echo "<img src="".$file_dir."/".$arry_txt[rand(0, sizeof($arry_txt) -1)]."">";

So what went wrong? I'm still really new at php. Tried taking out the / and quotes, but nothing.


[code]<?
// #### RANDOM PIC #########################################

    $thumbstring = '';
    $file_dir="pics/a10";    // DIRECTORY WITH THE PICS

    $f_type="tm.jpg";    // FILE EXTENSION YOU WISH TO DISPLAY

    $dir=opendir($file_dir);
    while ($file=readdir($dir))
    {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
        {
            $extension=substr($file,-6);    // THIS DIGIT MUST MATCH THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS SPECIFIED IN THE FILE EXTENSION ABOVE
            if($extension == $f_type)
            {
                $thumbstring .= "$file|";
            }
        }
    }
    srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
    $arry_txt = explode("|" , $thumbstring);
    echo "<img src="".$file_dir."/".$arry_txt[rand(0, sizeof($arry_txt) -1)]."">";

Whatever character you start the string with, single or double quotes, that same character must be escaped if it's contained within that string.

What do I need to add in if I didn't want mike.jpg to be displayed as a random image?

Thanks.
