hiding broken links

[Tgshaftoe]

Hi all

 

I am making a web site which will hold a basic blog I have made. I am using MySQL. each blog entry has the option of adding an image. The image name is stored in the database and the image on the surver.

 

I am able to show the image on the web page along with the text no problem. the problem comes from when there is no image of that blod a broken image link is shown instead.

 

Is there anyway I can set it up that is there is no record for the image that there website shows a default image instead?

 

I have included the link of code I am having problems with and the image name I want to be the default one is called, blank.jpg.

 

 

<img src="../admin/files/th<?php echo $row_blog['BlogPhoto'];?>" width="75" height="75" border="0" class="fltlft" ?>

 

 

Thanks for any help that can be given.

Use this function to check if it exists.

You may want to set the internal user agent using ini_set beforehand, as some servers may deny bot access.

ini_set('user_agent', 'value');
