need quotes around src=blah so it is src="blah"

<img src=../'.$row['ppic'].' 

should be

<img src="../'.$row['ppic'].'"

Sorry what? You mean to say you want to display a default placholder image if the user has not provided one?

 

You just need a simple if

// default placeholder image
$pic = 'placeholder.gif';

// if user has provided a picture, override default image
if(!empty($row['ppic'])) {
   $pic = $row['ppic'];
}

echo '<a rel="facebox" href="editpic.php?id='.$row['id'].'"><img src="../'.$pic.'" width="200" height="200" style="float:left; margin-right:10px;"></a>';
