Hi im trying to store the url of bp_loggedin_user_avatar in a php variable, but when I run the page instead of storing it, the image is displayed, even with the argument html false, what can I do?

$mg_avatar = bp_loggedin_user_avatar( ‘type=full’,’html=false’ );

You aren’t passing the arguments correctly, they need to be an array. Try this:
```
$args = array(
	'type'    => 'full',
	'html'    => false
	);

$mg_avatar = bp_loggedin_user_avatar( $args );
```

Thank you,the image is not showing, but now print the url in the page without an echo or print….I did a var_dump to the $mg_avatar variable and shows null….

I always use bp_core_fetch_avatar, it’s better documented and avoids the filter, which could be the issue.
```
$args = array(
        'item_id' => bp_loggedin_user_id()'
	'type'    => 'full',
	'html'    => false
    );

$mg_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( $args );
```
Try that
