Programming CMS for pic gallery

[eluser]davy_yg[/eluser]

controllers/upload.php

Code:

class Upload extends CI_Controller {

function gallery_show()
{
  foreach($pictures as $pic)
  {
  $data['html'] .= '<img src="'uploads/.$pic['thumbname'].'">';
  }

$this->load->view('gallery');  
}

}

I point to the url to : http://localhost/CodeIgniter_214/index.p...llery_show

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'uploads' (T_STRING) in C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter_214\application\controllers\upload.php on line 44

line 44: $data['html'] .= '<img src="'uploads/.$pic['thumbname'].'">';

Why is it?

I store all the pictures that I uploaded to: CodeIgniter_214/uploads/
