Images not showing

[Tjorriemorrie]

Hey, as the title says, my images doesn't show in the browser.

 

I'm saving the absolute path of the images in my database (using absolute as I'm testing locally using wamp). When i put those paths in an img tag, the image doesn't show. IE doesn't show the red 'broken link' cross, but the image placeholder icon, so I'm not sure why it just doesn't show the picture.

 

Here is the code:

<?php 
echo "<p>Name: " . $left["picpath"] . "</p>\r\n";
echo "<p>Size: " . $left["picsize"] . "</p>\r\n";
echo "<p><img src=\"" . $left["picpath"] . "\" /></p>\r\n";
print_r($left); ?>

 

Here is its page source:

<p>Name: F:\pictures other\art\22903721.jpg</p>
<p>Size: 97812</p>
<p><img src="F:\pictures other\art\22903721.jpg" /></p>
Array
(
    [id] => 1518
    [picpath] => F:\pictures other\art\22903721.jpg
    [picsize] => 97812
    [picstats] => 
    [lastupdate] => 0000-00-00 00:00:00
)

 

Any help appreciated!

You NEED a protocol...

 

try "file://{$left['picpath']}"
