# img src= ?php include TEMPLATEPATH… gets big mess

 * This works:
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/content.php’); ?>
 * This produces a ton of gobbledygook on the webpage:
    <img src=”<?php include(
   TEMPLATEPATH.’/images/hr.gif’); ?>” />
 * So does this:
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/images/hr.gif’); ?>
 * What can I do besides entering the full [http://&#8230](http://&#8230); url?
 * This seems to work sometimes, I think:
    <?php include(‘wp-content/themes/mytheme/
   images/hr.gif’); ?>
 * This seems to work sometimes, I think:
    <?php include(‘images/hr.gif’); ?>

 * `<img src="<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/hr.gif'); ?>" />`
 * you cannot use a php include to call an image file.
 * thats NEVER going to work.

 * Thanks both –
    so php includes don’t work, but `<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory');?
   >/images/hr.gif" alt="test">` does work.
 * It works for iframes too!
