im really not sure why youre doing it this way, maybe you can elaborate..?
the more-or-less straightforward way to do this, if you want the url in an
image tag, is to expose access to these images through the webserver, so
that you might have a url like (assume youre site is mysite.com),
http://mysite.com/Bldgs_lots/Burruss.jpg
and at that point, including it in a page becomes trivial.
say you have the location, $location, from the db already, as above, then
$url = 'http://mysite.com/' . $location;
echo '<img src="' . $url . '" border="1" height="150" width="200" alt="' .
$build . '">';
also, if i were to guess why youre getting junk is b/c youre using the
header() function to tell the browser youre sending out an image. i believe
it will then try to treat w/e you send it as the binary of a jpeg. which
<img... is not. if you are trying to send just the image and not create a
page of html, then theres no need for the <img> tag. iirc, all you need to
do is call imagejpeg(). from the manual on imagejpeg(),
The path to save the file to. If not set or *NULL*, the raw image stream
will be outputted directly.
so basically, just,
else {
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($img);
imagedestroy($img);
}
