"it don't work" is not very descriptive.
Did you get an error message or just no output?

[Tedglen2]

hi, its not erroring but its not showing image when image it should ?

[HalfaBee]

maybe that array is not set, try echoing out the array using print_r and see what is happening.

hi, sorry im realy enw to this stuff, i know nothing could oyu tell em what i could do ? i gt to this stage by using the dreamweaver controls and wizards ?

[HalfaBee]

ok
<a href="<?php echo $row_rsArticle['article_imagelink']; ?>" target="_

you need to be careful with CaSe.

$a['aaa'] is not the same as $a['Aaa']

to dump the array use print_r( $row_rsArticle );

[Tedglen2]

soz about this but what do i do with this code ?

Then compare the array to the index names you have used.

You have ['Article_imageLink'] and rsArticle['article_imagelink']
one is incorrect.

Array ( [article_id] => 47 [article_top_id] => 17 [article_title] => fsaf [Article_desc] => afsaf [article_text] => safsafsa [article_date] => 2006-04-12 22:56:35 [article_imagelink] => http://potrace.sourceforge.net/potrace-logo-468.png [topic_id] => 17 [topic_title] => May 2005 [topic_desc] => This topic isa lla bout may )

ok
if( isset($row_rsArticle['Article_imageLink']) )
should be
if( isset($row_rsArticle['article_imagelink']) )
