Using Img Src?

crazylegseddie

Any idea why my image is not showing with the following code:

 
<?php
					require_once 'library/config2.php';
					$result = mysql_query('SELECT pd_thumbnail FROM tbl_product WHERE pd_id =1') or exit(mysql_error()); 
					$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); ?>
					<img src="<?php echo $row['pd_thumbnail']?>">

Any help will be cool. Thx

Do you get an error message, a placeholder, nothing at all, or something else?

I just get a blank image symbol 😐

It's sounds like, most likely, the image file doesn't exist. If your query is returning a filename, then check to see that it's valid and points to your actual image. Echo out the query result, or check in the html source.

the image definately exists because if I remove the img scr it prints out the image name ie. wd129.jpg and as soon as I add the img scr then i recieve a symbol with an X on it? I just assumed I had used the wrong script to call out the image?

The image name being printed out doesn't mean the image definitely exists; it just means that the name is being retrieved from the database. So I'm still thinking it doesn't exist--not at all, not by that exact name, or not in that directory.

check to make sure that they wd129.jpg is located in the same directory as the script running or it will not display the image. If it is in a stored images directory or something then you will need a URL direction in front of that image name.
Example:
../images/wd129.jpg
