Although I see that you have the answer you need also note that you can
do:
Print "<td rowspan='4'><img src='images/$info[image_ref]'></td>";
and avoid all the escaping of quotes... to me, this is much easier on the
eyes. Examine the lines closely... to use multi-dimensional arrays do:
Print "<td rowspan='4'><img src='images/{$info['image_ref']['??']}'></td>";
