DIsplay Images from folder into website using the MVC framework

I wish to display an image in a website using PHP - MVC framework. I've got the following in views:

Code:

echo("<img src=\images/test.jpg" />");

but all I am is getting a square coming up. Can someone give me a nudge in the right direction?  Do I need to have some code in the controller, and if so what is required?


Thanks

PHP Code:

<img src="<?php echo base_url('images/test.jpg'); ?>" /> 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
