how do I insert php code into a table style? - php

Question

I'm a super newbie at PHP, I'm writing (or trying to write) some code. I have been trying to insert a php code into a table data cell but obviously I'm making some syntax mistake. Could you tell me what it is?
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row["name"]; ?>
</td>
<td><?php echo $row["translator"]; ?>
</td>
<?php echo "<td style=\"background-image:url(./assets/images/series/.$row['cover'].); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:250px 180px; width: 250px; height: 180px;\">"
</td>
</tr>

$row must be known to PHP before. so you need to do this to work:
<?php
$servername = "localhost"; //your db host
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "dbname";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT name, translator, cover FROM translators";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row["name"];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row["translator"];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td style='background-image:url("./assets/images/series/".$row['cover'].""); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:250px 180px; width: 250px; height: 180px;'>"
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
