Displaying image with users product post information? - php

Question

Im making a website like craigslist where people can make a posting of something they want to sell with a post title, post description, and email.
The problem:
I can pull all data from the db except for the image. When images are uploaded they are stored in C:\xampp\htdocs\uploads and the imagename is saved in the database with the rest of the info. Below is my php. Im trying to pull the name of the image from the db and use that to grab it like this
echo "<img src='uploads/".$image."' width='200'> ";
Im new to php so any tips are appreciated. Is this an ok method to store/retrieve user uploaded images?
Thanks
<?php
$host = "localhost"; /* Host name */
$user = "root"; /* User */
$password = ""; /* Password */
$dbname = "mydb"; /* Database name */
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password,$dbname);
// Check connection
if (!$con) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$sql= "SELECT * FROM products";
$result = $con->query($sql);
$image = "SELECT image FROM products";
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<img src='uploads/".$image."' width='200'> ";
echo "Title: " . $row["title"]. " Price: $" . $row["price"]. " <br> " . $row["description"]. " <br> " . $row["contact"] . " <br><br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$con->close();
?>

You need to use row same for image like:
$sql= "SELECT * FROM products";
$result = $con->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<img src='uploads/".$row["image"]."' width='200'> ";
echo "Title: " . $row["title"]. " Price: $" . $row["price"]. " <br> " . $row["description"]. " <br> " . $row["contact"] . " <br><br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$con->close();
