Why isn't my image un-caching?

Question

I need an image to constantly be updated when the page is reloaded so I decided to put a number at the end of the path but for some reason my code keeps breaking the page:

<?php $t = getDate(); ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/img/logo-apptivation.jpg?t=<?php .$t ?>"/>

Whats wrong?

@crypticツ Thanks, this seems to produce the following URL (notice the word Array at the end): http://path/logo.jpg?t=Array — egr103, Feb 23 '13 at 12:07

Sorry, my fault. I fixed the answer. – arkascha Feb 23 '13 at 12:14
Could/Should be: `printf('', bloginfo('template_url'), time());` And an explanation would be good too. – mickmackusa Apr 09 '22 at 05:32
