I want to echo an image inside of this, instead of text. But cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

<?php if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['status']) && $HTTP_GET_VARS['status'] == "true") echo ("<img src="images/added.jpg">); ?><?php if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['status']) && $HTTP_GET_VARS['status'] == "false") print ("You are already added!"); ?>

Thanks

Your use of quotes in the echo statement is wrong. Should be this:

echo '<img src="images/added.jpg">';

Also, you should not be using $HTTP_GET_VARS unless you're using a very
old server. $HTTP_GET_VARS is deprecated and won't work on all servers.
Use $_GET instead. See the following section of the PHP manual for more
details:
