Whats wrong with this code

[definewebsites]

Hi there,

 

I am developing a content management system, and I have some details stored in a mysql database. I am trying to retrieve an image whose path is stored in the database.

 

I obtained the path using the following:

 

$uploadDir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .  "/images/portfolio/";

 

and after retrieving the details from the database, I am trying to display it using the below as part of a table:

 

echo "<td rowspan=\"3\"><img src=\" ".$content . "\"/></td>";

 

but the image is not showing. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction as I have been staring at this for the past 30 minutes without a clue..

 

Thanks

What does the HTML source of your ECHO show?

[dezkit]

echo "<td rowspan='3'><img src=' ";
echo $content;
echo "'/></td>";

I don't think you want to use DOCUMENT_ROOT. That will return the local path. I assume you want the path to the images to be accessible to people on the Internet, which this won't be.

 

Do you want the result to be http://mysite.com/images or c:\inetpub\wwwroot\images (windows) or /www/mysite/images (unix)?

 

There's a way to get the path, but I can't think of it right now.
