 * You have incorrectly nested php tags. De-nest bloginfo. Oh, and don’t echo bloginfo.

 * Nesting is one tag inside another: `<?php <?php ?> ?>`

 * You’ve probably figured this out by now, but since I came past this post when
   I was searching for the same thing, here’s what you could do.
 * Rather than using _bloginfo_, use _get\_bloginfo_. Then you can use something
   like:
 * `<?php echo 'Your Blog Tagline is: ' . get_bloginfo ( 'description' ); ?>`
 * I guess your code would then look like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       echo get_bloginfo ( 'stylesheet_directory' ) . '/cat-banner/' . $category->cat_name . '.jpg" alt="' . $category->cat_name . '" />';
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Note that _stylesheet\_directory_ is deprecated, so either use _stylesheet\_url_
   to get to the main style.css, or _template\_directory_ if you want to get to 
   the theme directory.
