[SOLVED] display images from a databse?

[andrew_biggart]

Im trying to display profile pictures of each user from a database but the picture does not load up, when the page loads the td that holds the image goes to 100px x 100px but then back down to 0 again so its like its trying to display it and cant find it.

 

Is this the correct way to display an image from a database?

 

<? echo "<img src='Profile_pics/". $rows['Profile_picture'] . "' style='width:100px; height:100px;' />";?>

 

the row the image names are held in the database is definitly called, Profile_picture and the folder where the images are held is called Profile_pics so i really dont know!!

 

any ideas?

I have built queries the same way, except swapping the ' and " about.

 

echo '<img src="'.$searchcem.'/'.$imageid.'.JPG" height="100" width="100">';

 

If that does not help (I have always used " in html tags like this) then double check capatilisation of directories & filenames

What is outputted to the browser (Right click View Source). What does $rows['Profile_picture'] contain?

Do you have a link to the problem page at all? We might be able to see something in the source.

dont worry guys i have got it working now! it ended up being

 

this

<img src='../Profile_pics/".

instead of this

<img src='Profile_pics/".

 

Thanks for all your help tho
