C:/Apache2.2/htdocs/Jacey/Prod/Laptop/acer1.jpg

 

here is the variable to retrieve it..

<?php $imageurl = $row['product_image'] ?>

 

 

<p><img src="<?php echo $imageurl; ?>" />

Dont save it as a full path and most importantly, dont save it with the a windows absolute path. PHP runs from htdocs/ and cant access previous folders. Instead save only the image name in the db, ex "acer1.jpg". When u want to show it, using your folder structure:

 

<?php
$imageurl = 'Jacey/Prod/Laptop/' . $row['product_image'];
?>

 

Assuming your php file is in htdocs/. Otherwise modify the string to match the relative path.

[joinx]

made the changes but still not displaying..

my php files(the pages) are in the folder Jacey in htdocs but my images are in a folder Prod in htdocs but outside the Jacey folder..

Is that the problem?

Like so?

-htdocs/

-htdocs/Jacey/

-htdocs/Jacey/Prod

-htdocs/Prod/

 

then

<?php

$imageurl = '/Prod/Laptop/' . basename($row['product_image']);
?>

[joinx]

Still not displaying...Can someone plzzzzzz help me...

If your image is in "C:/Apache2.2/htdocs/Jacey/Prod/Laptop/acer1.jpg" and that is exactly what you store in the database, then your code could be like this:

 

<?php $imageurl = str_replace("C:/Apache2.2/htdocs", "", $row['product_image']) ?>
<p><img src="<?php echo $imageurl; ?>" />

 

This way your <img> is <img src="/Jacey/Prod/Laptop/acer1.jpg">

Mate store in the db only the images filename (ex. image.jpg). Theres no point of storing an absolute path, especially a windows absolute one. It may work, but this is really bad programming.
