[Resolved] Displaying pics

[bsachnoff]

This code works fine:
<?
echo "<center>";
echo "<title> Success! </title>";
echo "<img src='\gus\pics\php.gif>";
echo "</center>";
?>

---

This code does not:

---

<?
if ( @$_SESSION['login'] != "yes" )
{
header("Location:main.php");
exit();
}
$PHPSESSID = session_id();
header ("Pragma: no-cache");
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max_age=0");
header ("Expires: 0");

// make sure $id exists
$id=$_GET['id'];
if ($id == "")
{
header("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
echo "<title> $id </title>";
echo "<center>";
echo"<img src='\gus\pics\php.gif>";
echo"</center>";

echo "<form action='index.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='PHPSESSID' value='$PHPSESSID'>";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Cancel'>";
echo "</form>";
?>

The image displays in example one. Image does not display in example two. Cancel button does show up there though. I should state this is on a Sidekick II (www.danger.com). Both of these examples work fine in M$ XP Pro IE V6.x though.

No matter what I seem to do, I can not get it to show up. Completely out of ideas now!

Hi bsachnoff,

What does happen?

Do you get error messages, or warnings?

Here's a couple of tips ...

1) Take out the @ in front of the $_SESSION to stop suppressing error messages ... can always put it back in later.

2) Comment out the header functions and just echo a message. Using the header function is not straightforward ... once all the logic is in place, can switch them back on.

3) This line ... echo"<img src='\gus\pics\php.gif>"; ... contains a rogue apostrophe and there should be a space inbetween 'echo' and the double-quote.

If you know all this stuff already, then well, it might help someone else anyway! 😉

Paul.

Paul,

Let me clarify a little. If I run example #1 or #2 on Internet Destroyer it works fine.

If I run example #1 on my Sidekick II it works fine. If I run example #2 on my sidekick II I do not see the PHP picture but I do see the cancel button that the code displays. Sidekick II - www.danger.com. Since this is a small image it can fit fine on the sidekick obviously since it works off of example #1.

That was a typo in the <img src> statement. However it is correct in the actual code.

I did remove the @ and also commented out the 3 headers as asked. Still same deal. No errors or anything. Just a cancel button.

I'v tried various images (not just the php.gif) of all shapes and sizes and types (.jpg) and still exact same problem.

My concern is that the code in example #1 is exactly the same in example #2(in reference to displaying the picture).

Any other suggestions would be greatful! Thanks Paul!

Yes this does not make sense since it works fine on IE anywhere...but when I move to my sidekick it does not work. I moved my pic from the \gus\pics to the \gus dir and it worked fine. I verified permissions on the pics dir to enable it at least had read (but add full just for MS stupidity sakes) and it still didn't work. Yes I did stop and restart IIS...

Maybe I should I have moved to Apache too?

As soon as I went from:
echo "<img src='\gus\pics\php.gif'>";

to

echo "<img src='/gus/pics/php.gif'>;

it worked....

Weird why this worked in IE but not on the sidekick until the backslashes were changed to frontslashes...

Thanks for the input all!
