How can I access the variable for the author of a post in PHP?

    I have a blog with various authors.

    I want to be able to identify which author wrote the post by variable so that I can display their photo beside the post.

    I can display the author using the following:
    <p>Written by: <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></p>

    but i would like to be able to say: “if user1, display user1.jpg” etc..

    I tried the following with no success:

    $curauth = (string)the_author_posts_link();

if($curauth=="Jim Balmer")
{
	echo "<img src=\"images/jim.jpg\">";
}

    THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! ??
