echo issue with WP function [Help]

Dear friends,

I am new WP user and please forgive me for any mistakes when explaining my issue.

I am having an issue with “echo”. Here is the situation –

<?php echo '<p><img src="' . bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/images/img-1.jpg" /></p>' ?>

When I am trying this, the output is totally different. The url is displaying outside the <p> tag.

Like this –

http://127.0.0.1/wp/wp-content/themes/ThemeName<p><img src="/images/img-1.jpg" /></p>

But simple use like this – is working great. Why the above is not working? –

<figure><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/img-1.jpg" /></figure>

I really don’t know how to fix it. Please help me anyone.

Thanks!
