   i'm trying to insert an image from somewhere in the header template. i tried this first
   

   echo '<img src="' . bloginfo('template_directory') . '/../thematicChild/images/greenblue_line.gif" />';

   but it rendered like this:
   

   http://www.blah.com/wp-content/themes/thematic<img src="/../thematicChild/images/greenblue_line.gif" />

   do you see? it comes out in a different order than i wrote it.
   anyone know why this is???? i fixed easily it like this
   

   echo '<img src="';
   echo bloginfo('template_directory');
   echo '/../thematicChild/images/greenblue_line.gif" />';

   but that just seems a little ghetto and inefficient.

   suggestions?

   bloginfo() always echoes by default, if I remember correctly. Try using get_bloginfo('template_directory') if you want to use the output in conjunction with <?php echo.
