Magento 1.9 – How to Display Thumbnails of Products in Cart

cartconfigurable-productimagemagento-1.9PHP

I have been trying to work this out for the past few hours. Hope you guys can help. I am working on a magento website 1.9.0.1 and trying to display the products currently in the cart as a widget elsewhere. I am able to display the Product Name, Price, qty and the grand total. However I can not get the product image to display. Instead of the product image the default magento placeholder image is displayed.

This is the code block that i am working with : 

<?php
$quote = Mage::helper('checkout')->getQuote();
foreach ($quote->getItemsCollection() as $item) { ?>
<div class="cart-single">
    <div class="cart-content-image">
        <img src="<?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($item->getProduct(), 'thumbnail')->resize(50, 50); ?>" alt="<?php echo $item->getName(); ?>" />
    </div>
    <div class="cart-content-details">
        <?php 
            $maxLength = 50;
            $productName = $item->getName();
            echo '<div class="cart-content-name-short">'.substr($productName, 0, $maxLength).'...</div>';
            echo '<div class="cart-content-name-full">'.$item->getName().'</div>';
            echo '<div class="cart-content-price">'. $this->helper('checkout')->formatPrice($item->getPrice(), 2).'</div>';
            echo '<div class="cart-content-qty">Qty : '. $item->getQty().'</div>'; 
        ?>
    </div>
</div>
<?php }
?>

The problem I am having is on this line:

<img src="<?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($item->getProduct(), 'thumbnail')->resize(50, 50); ?>" alt="<?php echo $item->getName(); ?>" />

I have searched for the past few hours, and tried different solutions, but couldn't get them to work, so I thought I'd display the code in question.

Help and advise appreciated. Thanks

Try below code:

<img src="<?php echo (string)Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($item->getProduct(), 'thumbnail')->resize(50); ?>" alt="<?php echo $item->getProduct()->getName(); ?>" />
