Bet the image is not readable from the web server.

Hi,

Yes. But I assign the location of the image ( C:\Users\Sashikanth \Desktop\Bldgs_lots\Burruss.jpg) to the $location variable by using the mysqli_fetch_array($data) command. I send a query to the db and the result is obtained and the image location is stored into $location. So it is pretty straightforward. But I cannot understand why is it not displaying the picture after retrieving the image. Should I use any other additional commands to display the picture? Or do I need any changes in my PHP configuration file? I have checked the Config file and the ; sign infront of extension=php_gd2.dll has been removed.

Thanks,
Sashi



Hello,

Does something like this work on your php script?

$location="..\..\Bldgs_lots\Burruss.jpg"

OR

$location="..\Bldgs_lots\Burruss.jpg"

This is the location where I have saved  my images.

/I have loaded the above location exactly into my database. But when I
call it using

/echo "<img src='$location' border='1' height='150' width='200'
alt='$build' >";/

It is simply giving me some blank empty space, with the name of the
picture in the blank space (Since I am using alt). So, as I see it,
the retrieval part is working fine, but the displaying of the image is
not functioning properly. I am using a WAMP server. Any kind of
suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Sashi

PS: For Reference, I am posting my entire code below again. The image
retrieval part is towards the end of the code.

Hello,

It might be something with location where the script is located and the
image.I think is normally the case if they arent on the same
directory...
If not you might want to try saving your image locations with something
like ../../image_folder/image.jpg

I am not sure though as I have seen this issue on one application but
it runs on LAMP

P:S
../ One step back from the script location

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. It is working fine but there is some problem. When I introduced the piece of code you have suggested into my code, I am getting a space for the picture but nothing is there in that space. It is just blank. I do not know the reason for this. I am just attaching a picture just in case it might give you a better idea. Further, this is the piece of code I have written to display the pic.

/echo "<img src='$location' border='1' height='150' width='200'
alt='$build' >";/

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sashi

Hello,

Storing only location of the image in dB wouldnt be any different than
other string/data retrieved from the dB.That means if you have
something
like this in html documents whereby $image_location comes from the dB
It should work without ....header stuffs

Example
<img src="$image_location" border="1" height="150" width="200"
alt="Image" ISMAP>
P:S
Replace $image_location with image location from your dB.

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,

Sorry, but this won't work, since you don't map the value of the
escaped $value to the %s, lets say with sprintf()...
