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

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

    Don’t echo bloginfo:

    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.

    More info under codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_bloginfo
