Displaying Image stored on Server
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:36 pm
Hi,
I'm tried to search the forum, but the search doesn't seem to be working.
I'm new to PHP, and what I'm trying to do is this.
I have a mysql database, that I added a column too. This column holds the URL to an image stored in a directory on the server.
What I would like to do on my PHP page, is display the image when the page is opened.
Here is the section where I want to display the image, I would like it right before the description.
The field in my database is called Item_Image
I tried echo $item[Item_Image]; just to verify that it's getting the info from the db, and it outputs the URL fine.
I just can't figure out how to get the image to show on my page when it's open.
Any ideas?

while ($item = $query->fetchrow())

echo "<b>Effectiveness:</b> " . $item['effectiveness'] . "\n";
echo "</td><td width=\"15%\">";
echo "<b>Price:</b> " . $item['price'] . "<br />";
echo "<a href=\"shop.php?act=buy&id=" . $item['id'] . "\">Buy</a><br />";
echo "</td></tr>\n";
