How to use image instead of JText

Question

I would like to add an image instead of greeting text "Hello" under that code -

$mootoolsButton = $params->get('mootoolsbutton','');
if(empty($mootoolsButton)){
    $mootoolsButton = Jtext::_('Hello');
    // $mootoolsButton = echo '<img src="images/main/nl_03.png" />';
}else{
    if(!empty($mootoolsButton) && preg_match('#^[A-Z_]*$#',$mootoolsButton)){
        $mootoolsButton = JText::_($mootoolsButton);
    }
}

You do not need to use JText in case of rendering images. Just put:

$this->mootoolsButton = 'images/main/nl_03.png';

JText is used to translate string.

If you are working on custom component then add above code to view.html.php file. And then access it to "tmpl/default.php" with below code.

<img src="<?php echo $this->mootoolsButton; ?>" alt="Button" />
