# Path to image when using an echo

 * I have this code:
    <img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/
   date.gif” alt=”<?php the_time(‘F dS, Y’); ?>” align=”left” style=”margin:0 2px
   0 0″ />
 * It works fine but I need to place it in an echo tag for this other part and I
   am wondering how to do that since you can’t seem to put php tags inside an echo
   statement.
 * Thanks.

 * The bloginfo and the_time functions include echos in them, so try separating 
   out the various parts:
    `echo '<img src="'; bloginfo('template_directory'); echo'/
   images/date.gif" alt="'; the_time('F dS, Y'); echo '" align="left" style="margin:
   0 2px 0 0" />';
