Thanks Rodney, I want to make a news system where yo can add a image of the news that you are inputing, do you know a good tutorial by any chance?

do you mean like catagories? ie. basketball news would have a picture of a basketball

If thats the case... then calling it a 'dynamic image' is a bit missleading.

Have you got the news page working so far with the database? what you should be looking at is storing the path to the image in the database, not the actual image.

If that sounds like its what your looking for i'll give you more help, but i'll save myself a possible waste of time and wait for your reply 😉

Thants right, that is exactly what Im trying to do, do you know any good tutorial for doing that?
Thanks 😃

Hmm, well... I don't know any tutorials.

You didnt say if you had the news page working already so far?

What you want to be thinking about doing, is adding a field in the database that will hold the path to the image. then you put that information into an HTML image tag.

How good is your php/html understanding?

Ooo sorry , Im able to load the information I have created an admin page were you can add, delete or modify the news, the only part that Im missing, is the image part. Im kind of new with PHP and mysql.
