Shortcode for an array in PHP

Question

I have an array like this

$array = array('Autobus', 'Ecole', 'Hopital' ...);

And this is how I echo images that are in that array

foreach ($array as $prox){
    if ($prox == 'Autobus'){
        echo '<img src="./imgs/icones/autobus.png" width="35" height="35" alt="'.$prox.'" title="'.$prox.'"/>';
    }
    if ($prox == 'Ecole'){
        echo '<img src="./imgs/icones/ecole.png" width="35" height="35" alt="'.$prox.'" title="'.$prox.'"/>';
    }
    if ($prox == 'Hopital'){
        echo '<img src="./imgs/icones/hopital.png" width="35" height="35" alt="'.$prox.'" title="'.$prox.'"/>';
    }
...

Is there any way shorter than that code to do the same thing ?

Thanks

Question title is a bit of a misnomer, made me think of the PHP 5.4 short syntax for arrays. — lll

foreach ($array as $prox){
    echo '<img src="./imgs/icones/' . strtolower($prox) . '.png" width="35" height="35" alt="'.$prox.'" title="'.$prox.'"/>';
}

$array = array('Autobus', 'Ecole', 'Hopital');
foreach($array as $prox) {
   echo '<img src="./imgs/icones/'.strtolower($prox).'.png" width="35" height="35" alt="'.$prox.'" title="'.$prox.'"/>';
}

Ha! Let's play who can type the fastest! I wasn't even on the page a minute, some of those answers should have been up when I came in. ;)

foreach ($array as $prox){
$img = strtolower ($prox);
echo '<img src="./imgs/icones/'.$img.'autobus.png" width="35" height="35" alt="'.$prox.'" title="'.$prox.'"/>';    
}

foreach ($array as $prox){
    sprintf('<img src="./imgs/icones/%s.png" width="35" height="35" alt="%s" title="%s"/>'
            , strtolower($prox)
            , $prox
            , $prox);
}

This only works if the image name is the same (but lowercase) as $prox

Personal opinion: sprintf() is overkill for for any kind of simple variable insertion, and again in my opinion ruins the readability of code (I used to use it religiously, now I don't).

How about something like this?

The above posters did it how I was originally going to do it, but what if you have a word like "Chemin de fer"?

At least I think that's French...

$aArray = array
(
    "autobus" => "Autobus",
    "ecole" => "Ecole",
    "hopital" => "Hopital",
);

foreach($aArray as $sImageName => $sTitle)
{
    echo '<img src="/imgs/icones/'.$sImageName.'.png" width="35" height="35" title="'.$sTitle.'" />';
}

Tadaa?
