Html inside php?

Howdy, quick question. I’ve got a wordpress widget printing out the twitter api etc. I was able to put an image next to the title generated by the widget but can’t validate my page because I can’t put an alt tag in there. This is what the code looks like.

echo "{$before_widget}{$before_title}<a href='" . clean_url( "http://twitter.com/{$account}" ) . "'><img src='" . clean_url( "http://leafkit.com/blog/wp-content/themes/Leafkit/images/twiticon.png" ) . "'/>{$title}</a>{$after_title}";

Where can I put in one alt tag? I tried a few different methods to no avail.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Excellent! Knew it had to be something simple!
Cheers!


alt=\“ALT HERE\”


echo "{$before_widget}{$before_title}<a href='" . clean_url( "http://twitter.com/{$account}" ) . "'><img src='" . clean_url( "http://leafkit.com/blog/wp-content/themes/Leafkit/images/twiticon.png" ) . "' alt=\\"ALT HERE\\" />{$title}</a>{$after_title}";
