Well, I'm making a list of all my movies, using php. I've got some problems when it comes to displaying the cover, I've located the "bug", but i don't know what the problem is.

 

This doesn't work.

<img border="0" alt="300" title="300" src="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTM1NDU1MTIxMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTcwMjI2MQ@@._V1._SX100_SY127_.jpg" />

This works:

<img border="0" alt="300" title="300" src="http://i28.tinypic.com/219qww5.jpg" />

 

What's wrong?

 

P.S. I'm all new to php/HTML, so all help appreciated.

Got me. Both links look fine, and worked here when I tested them. Whatever the problem is, it's not the link syntax.

 

Could be that they have hotlinking blocked, and you got blocked. But that's entirely speculation.

Okay, thats too bad :/

Do you know of any image hosting service where i can upload multiple images at once, and accepts links? Then ill just make a list of all the image links and upload them there :)

 

Or, any way i can download all the images myself (using php) and then upload them to a desired site which allows uploading multiple files.

 

Also it's important that the images don't get deleted from the site ;)

 

Thanks in advance.

Important or not, what you are proposing is most likely illegal, assuming the images aren't free for public use. You can use them off the owner's server, but to take them and put them on your server is theft.

even if my server is not for public use?

and if it's not okay, even though it's not public, how can i find out if "imdb" is okay with this? just send them a mail?

If by not for public use, you mean that it would be password protected or something, I believe it's still illegal, it's just a lot less likely that you would be found out. But if you want to find out, yes, I would recommend contacting the site directly and asking them.
