Re: Retrieving Image Location in MySQL

Hi JP,

I am just storing the location of the image on the database. I want to keep them private and retrieve them through scripting. The images are stored in a folder on my PC. Just to give you an example, this is the location of a particular image as stored in the database.

C:\Users\Sashikanth\Desktop\Bldgs_lots\Burruss.jpg

Thanks,
Sashi

Hi Sashi:

You're incurring in this error because the headers for the page have
already been issued in the head section of your page.
When you issue the php header() function, it will generate an error.

Anyway, you are storing a path to a file in the database. My question
is: do you want to put your images on a subfolder of your site, where
they will become acessible through regular URLS, or you want to keep
them private and only accessible by scripting?

Cheers.
JP

Dear all,

I have been trying to retrieve the location of a image from database and display the image in the browser using PHP. I have written a sort of code for the purpose. All I am getting in my browser after using the code is a long set of ASCII characters with the following warning *Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\wamp\www\mysqli.php:65) in *C:\wamp\www\mysqli.php* on line *237
*
I am herewith attaching my code. If anyone can point out the error or give some kind of advice that would be really great. The location of the image is stored in a table by the name IMAGE under the column name Location and here in the code, the location is retrieved under the varibale name $Location.

thanks,
Sashi

Matya,

Ha, ha, ha! Thank you good friend. I did say I didn't try the code :-)

AF> Please note, I haven't tried this. It just seems plausible.

I apologize if I confused anyone. I just meant to show how the parameter could help retrieve a picture. I wasn't too concerned with the particulars. Hopefully the concept is sound. If not, please do flame my note so no one attempts it.

Be Well,
A-

        //Write a query to pull out the picture's path
        $sql = "SELECT path FROM Image WHERE ID = %s";
        mysql_real_escape_string($value);
Sorry, but this won't work, since you don't map the value of the escaped $value to the %s, lets say with sprintf()...

Regards,
Matya
