If file not exists

[sotusotusotu]

Hi all,

 

For some reason I am having trouble displaying a default image when an image doesn't exist.  I have written the following code.  Or is there another way of doing this?

 

Thanks

 

 

<?php if (file_exists ($serverPath."images/".$speakerRecord['image'])) {?>

<img src="<?php print $relativePath."images/".$speakerRecord['image'];?>" alt="<?php print $speakerRecord['speaker_name'];?>" class="featured_events_image_l"/>

<?php } else { ?>

<img src="speaker_large.gif" alt="" />

<?php } ?>

Whats actually happening. Have you looked at the source code once the code is running to ensure image paths are correct?

Assuming that speakerRecord is a database result and you are selecting from the returned array this then leaves you with two undefined variables.

Both

relativePath and serverPath.

Can you please show your full source code?

The source code for the image is:

 

<img src="images/speakers/" alt="Estelle Hersenzhorn, WRAP" />

 

The code works fine when the image exists and returns the correct image.  The problem just seems to be that it thinks that an image always seems to exist.

 

Any ideas?

well when there isn't an image do you just get a blank screen?

Just the alt tag is displayed in Firefox - so it is correctly getting the data but just not displaying an alternative image.

this

 

if (file_exists ($serverPath."images/".$speakerRecord['image']))

 

should be

 

if (file_exists ($serverPath."images/".$speakerRecord['image']) && !is_dir($serverPath."images/".$speakerRecord['image']))

 

what is happening $speakerRecord['image'] is not coming in and therefore it checking the dir and returning true
