How to show static image when there is no dynamic image

[parlanchina]

Hello, I have a script that shows dynamic images, this is the script:

<img src="<?php echo $data['thumbnailUrl'];?>" alt="" border="0" width="122" height="92">

When there is no image - $data['thumbnailUrl'], broken image box is displayed. How can I edit this script so when there is no a dynamic image, a static one will show instead?

THANKS!

Simply use an if statement to check if the thumbnailUrl array index is set in your $data variable. If it is, echo the value, otherwise, echo the path to your static image.

you can just check if the file exists:

if(is_file($data['thumbnailUrl'])){
   // show the dynamic image
}else{
   // show the static one
}

Thanks for your reply. This is what I tried but it does not work. Do you know what might be wrong?

 

<img src="<?php  if(is_file($data['thumbnailUrl'])){
<img src="<?php echo $data['thumbnailUrl'];?>" alt="" border="0" width="122" height="92"></a>
}else{
<img src="noimage.jpg" width="168" height="128" alt="" /></a>
}
?>" alt="" border="0" width="122" height="92"></a>

Your code should be

<?php  if(is_file($data['thumbnailUrl'])){ ?>
   <img src="<?php echo $data['thumbnailUrl'];?>" alt="" border="0" width="122" height="92">
<?php }else{ ?>
    <img src="noimage.jpg" width="168" height="128" alt="" />
<?php } ?>

Thanks for the help Ch0cu3r. When I use this code now all image show noimage.jpg and the dynamic image does not show at all.

[Ch0cu3r]

Maybe use empty instead of is_file

[parlanchina]

This also shows only noimage.jpg

What is the output of

var_dump($data['thumbnailUrl'])

No it does not work but actually when I right-click the code of a listing that does not have image, this is what it comes up- http://imagesus.homeaway.com/mda01/1b79ecc4-46fe-49fe-bb75-ac1ec359a177.1.3. It points to an image but it is broken.

 

When I rightclick a working image (example of working image http://imagesus.homeaway.com/mda01/fb6c745c-a3cb-46c4-972d-4ab934a635ab.1.3) it show image type JPEG and for the broken images it shows image type Not Available. Is it possible to structure the script so if it is not a jpeg, gif or png, it will show noimage?

[Ch0cu3r]

Does all images that appear broken have the following url http://imagesus.homeaway.com/mda01/1b79ecc4-46fe-49fe-bb75-ac1ec359a177.1.3

No, it seems all broken images = 0kb. is it possible to modify the script in a way so if the image size = 0kb it will display the noimage?
