Display Images from DB

[matrixx1]

I'm creating a funeral home site and on the side of the page I would like to display the last 5 funeral obituaries that are in mySQL database (name and certain sized image (images are in "image" field) w/ a link to an "obituaries detail page for the individual deceased person"). I am able to do this successfully listing only the names....how can I list the image associated with the name? This is what I have so far:

 

<?php 

include("connect.php"); 

?>

 

 

<?php 

$query = "SELECT id, deceased_name, deceased_date, DATE_FORMAT(deceased_date, '%M %D, %Y') as datetext"; 
$query .= " FROM scales_obits ORDER BY deceased_date DESC LIMIT 5"; 

$listings = mysql_query($query); 
if (!listings) { 
        echo("<p>Error retrieving listings from lookup table<br>". 
                "Error: " . mysql_error()); 
        exit(); 
} 

echo("<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"obit\">"); 

while ($listing = mysql_fetch_array($listings)) { 

$deceased_name = $listing["deceased_name"]; 
$deceased_date = $listing["datetext"]; 
$id = $listing["id"]; 

echo("<tr><td width=\"100%\"><a href=\"obitdetail.php?id=".$id."\"><strong>".$deceased_name."</strong></a></td><td> </td>"); 


} 

echo("</table>"); 
?>

You'll have to select the `image` column from the database as well:

$query = "SELECT id, image, deceased_name, deceased_date, DATE_FORMAT(deceased_date, '%M %D, %Y') as datetext";

Then echo it with the other things:

$image = $listing["image"];

echo("<tr><td width=\"100%\"><a href=\"obitdetail.php?id=".$id."\"><img src=\"".$image."\" alt=\"".$deceased_name."\"><br><strong>".$deceased_name."</strong></a></td><td> </td>");

THANKS A MILLION!!!....works!!!  One last thing...do you know how I can put a white border around the pic?  Is that a css solution?

Yeah the border you can change using css {border:1px #fff solid}

I'm doing something very similar, but I need to organize my images into seperate tabs based on their date. As it is now, all my tabs show up for all the existing dates but all my images for each specific person retrieved by my query show up on the first tab. So i guess I need them to be sorted by the dates and then inserted into each corrosponding tab. How can I do this?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
