PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\imagedisplay.php on line 28 [closed]

Question

I am getting an error during my execution of the code:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in C:\apache2triad\htdocs\imagedisplay.php on line 28

<?php

$dir= "C:\apache2triad\htdocs\phppgadmin\images\phpimages";

$file_display= array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif');

if(file_exists($dir)== false) 
{
  echo "directory x not found";
}
else
{
  $dir_content= scandir($dir);

  foreach($dir_content as $file)
  {
    $file_type = strtolower(end(explode('.', $file)));
     
    // echo "$file <br> ";

    if($file !=='.' && $file !=='..')
    {
      //echo "$file <br> ";   
      echo "<img src="', $dir, '/', $file, '" alt="', $file, '"/>";
    }      
  }   
}
?>

Where is line 28 here? Also a dot (.) is used to concatenate strings in PHP, not a comma... — Lix

As usual, an editor or IDE with syntax highlighting would help. — mario

echo "<img src="', $dir, '/', $file, '" alt="', $file, '"/>";
               ^^-- here

You've essentially got two different strings back-to-back here, making this line completely invalid.

Start by learning basic PHP syntax rules. We can tell you the solution, but then you learn nothing and continue to make the same error elsewhere.
