No image found ..

[jgonick]

I have a members (address) database --MySQL.

The database has urls to a picture of the member. The database automatically assigns the url based off the member's name, even if the picture is not there ../picture/lastnamefirstname.jpg

Most members have a picture, but a few do not. Is there a way, with PHP script, to have it return a "no image available" image if the original image is not found--instead of the red "X"?

Thanks,

One option is to create a custom "No Pic" graphic. Test whether the member's file exists using the file_exists function and act accordingly ... from the php manual ...

<?php
$filename = '/path/to/foo.txt';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
print "The file $filename exists";
} else {
print "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>

Yeah, just check to see if the file exists - something like this:

if(file_exists($image)) {
//show image
}
else {
//show no image available image
}
