displaying a default image ;x

[suess0r]

hey guys,

i'm setting up a site and some of my records have pictures and some don't, but i want the ones that don't to have some sort of mmpf to them as well, other than the generic [x] image not found space. is there any way i can default to a certain image if the ($i.jpg) doesn't exist??? thanks  :D

I think this will work

[code]
$check = "select file from $table";
$qry = mysql_query($check)
or die ("Could not match data because ".mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qry);
if ($num_rows != 0) {
exit;
}else {
echo "$i.jpg";
}
[/code]

Alternative:
[code]<?php
$file = "path/to/your/images/image.jpg";
echo (file_exists($file)) ? "<img src='$file' alt='My Image' />" : "<img src='noimg.gif' alt='No Image' />";
?>[/code]

thanks semi, i'm getting this error though...

Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in /Users/jif/Clb411/pg3.php on line 9
[quote]
$file = "/images/clubs/logos/'.$name.'.jpg";
echo (file_exists($file)) ? "<img src='$file' alt='My Image' />" : "<img src='/images/noimg.jpg' alt='No Image' />";[/quote]

any thoughts?

paste us all your code, or at least line 9.

[suess0r]

that is the code... and it is line 9 ;x

<?php
$file = "/images/clubs/logos/'.$name.'.jpg";
echo (file_exists($file)) ? "<img src='$file' alt='My Image' />" : "<img src='/images/noimg.gif' alt='No Image' />";
?>

i think there's an error in the syntax with the ' or the "'s somewhere.

You're using a mixture of double and single quotes when building the contents of $file.

[mlin]

$file = "/images/clubs/logos/$name.jpg";

OK, so i don't think that syntax was the problem....there was a previous echo before it, and now how it is I don't know how to close this echo...

echo '
<tr>';
$file = "/images/clubs/logos/$name.jpg";
echo (file_exists($file)) ? "<img src='$file' alt='My Image' />" : "<img src='/images/noimg.jpg' alt='No Image'

[suess0r]

ok, so it's only displaying the default noimg.jpg no matter what (even that I know a lot of the pictures do exist) here's what the code is, am i setting the $file wrong??

[quote]echo '
<tr>';
$file = "/images/clubs/logos/$name.jpg";
echo (file_exists($file)) ? "<p align='center'><img src='$file' alt='My Image' />" : "<img src='/images/noimg.jpg' alt='No Image'/></p>";[/quote]

appreciate the assitance...

Try dropping the slash at the front of $file so that it reads "images/clubs/logos/$name.jpg"
