Displaying image from database

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I've got a site where that's got a database behind it. Currently it has loads of items in rows that all have different pictures. There is a field called "Image" that has the name of the image ie. example.jpg.

Then I have a folder on my webserver called image where the pictures are stored with the same file names and extensions.

Now, I want to display the correct image for the item that the page is showing. I have this code but it's just showing the usual box with a red X in the top left.

I should also point out that the 'Item' line is working correctly and displaying the name of the item.

Quote<table border='1' align="left" width="100%">
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
$dir = '/image';
$image = $row['Image'];
echo('<b><h1>'.$row['Item'].'</h1></b><br />');

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width=15%>"."<img width=100% src='$dir/$image /'></td>";
echo "<td width=85% align=center>Description</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
</table>
Any ideas why this isn't working?
