Problem with img tag connected to a DB

K-MUS

Hi, my problem is this I have a DB with articles, for each articles there is some photos every articles doesn´t have the same numbers of pics... well....If a field that have a img path is empty I dont wanna that the image holder (with the red X) appears.

How may I accomplish that ???

because I tried this and works...
<? if ($row_details['URLa']!="")
echo "<img src=\"Photos/cap004.jpg\">"?>

but when I replace the static value to a field DB value...doesn´t works.

<? if ($row_details['URLa']!="") echo "<img src=\"echo $row_details['URLa'];\">";?>

If some1 know of to fix this or know another ways, please let me know.

Btw Im a noob in PHP...& sorry my english.

nup, that didn´t work... but, I don´t have to put echo un the src of the img tag as a must ?

The Statment part of the "if" works... my problem is with the "src" part of the img tag.

There is another method to de it? or I´m wrong with the code?

help...pls ?

when troubleshooting a db query like this its always easier to echo the db value to make sure that the db data is right before trying to figure out whats wrong with the html.

$mypic = $row_details[URLa];
echo "$mypic";

Once you verify that there aren't any typos in the image name or source, then try

echo "<img src=\"$mypic\">";

Once you can get the line above to work you can go back to using

and then you can add your empty check to make sure php doesnt display the little red x when an image isnt specified. Working in this order should help you pinpoint your problem. good luck.
