echo an image from a directory on my hosting server

[Reaper0167]

I have a couple images in a directory on my server. Could I just use an echo statement to display them somehow?

<?php
echo '<img src="linktoimage.jpg>';
?>

header('Content-Type: image/png');

 

I added this line to the top of the php page with the echo statment you showed me. But there is just a little red x.

 

$newname="userimages/".$image_name;

echo '<img src="$newname">';

 

There is more code,, just showing what I am trying to echo.

And is it possible to include png, jpg, and gif all in one header content?

Just echo out a complete path to see if it works.

 

You also might need a / in front of the userimages.

FYI.

 

echo '<img src="$newname">';

 

Will not work. The $newname is taken literally in single quotes.

 

echo '<img src="' . $newname . '">';

 

Would work.

What about if I wanted to echo all the pictures from that directory?
