Path to image

[mikerh9]

I wrote small php program that shows images from database(MySQL).
In the database
image_small ='/var/www/html/images/jvm1000.jpg"

So when I try to show image to the screen.

$thumb = "<img src=/var/www/html/images/jvm1000.jpg>";
echo $thumb;

The image is not showing. Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks

$thumb = "<img src='/var/www/html/images/jvm1000.jpg'>"; 
echo $thumb;
