Trying to display images from a filesystem in php - php

Question

Today i am looking for help. This is my first time asking so sorry in advance if I make a few mistakes
I am trying to code a small web application that will display images.Originally I used the blob format to store my images in a database, however from researching on here People suggest to use a file system. My issue is I cannot display an image. It could be a very small error or even a bad reference to a files location however I cannot make it work.
This is a small project that I hope to be able to improve on and hopefully create into a sort of photo gallery. I am running this application on a localhost.
I am having an issue with displaying images from a filesystem.
// index.php
<form action="process.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
My form then leads to a process page where the request is dealt with.
<?php
// process.php
// connect to the database
include 'connection.php';
// take in some file data
$filename =$_FILES['image']['name'];
// get the file extension
$extension = strtolower(substr($filename, strpos($filename, '.')+1));
// if the file name is set
if(isset($filename)){
// set save destination
$saved ='images/';
// rename file
$filename = time().rand().".".$extension;
$tmp_name=$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
// move image to the desired folder
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $saved.$filename)){
echo "Success!";
// if success insert location into database
$insert="INSERT INTO stored (folder_name,file_name) VALUES('$saved', '$filename')";
// if the query is correct
if($result=mysqli_query($con,$insert)){
echo "DONE";
echo"</br>";
// attempt to print image
echo "<img src=getimage.php?file_name=$filename>";
}
}
}
else{
echo "Please select a photo!!";
}
?>
Now as you can see I have an < img > tag. To try and learn, I was trying to just display the recently uploaded image. To try and do this I created a getimage file.
<?php
//getimage.php
// set the page to display images
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
include "connection.php";
// get requested filename
$name = ($_GET['file_name']);
$query = "SELECT * FROM stored WHERE file_name=$name";
$image = mysqli_query($con,$query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($image,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$img = $row['file_name'];
echo $img;
?>
My database structure is as follows:
database name = db_file.
table name = stored.
columns = folder_name, file_name
Again, this is just a small project so I know I will have to alter the database if I wish to create a larger more efficient application.

It seems you use the database lookup to get just the file name, but you already have the file name. Try adding the folder name, create a valid path.
change
$img = $row['file_name'];
to
$img = $row['folder_name'] . '/' . $row['file_name'];
check your <img>tag to see if the correct url is present. You may or may not need the '/', it depends on how you stored the folder name. You may need to add the domain name. There is just not enough information know what is needed.
Your <img> should look like this
<img href="http://www.yourdomain.com/folder name/file name">
in the end
