I am having a little trouble trying to display the image at ID: 2 in my store table...
here's what i've come up with (p.s. the reason I set $id = 2 is because I plan on making this a loop where I will increment that value to print other images)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Gallery</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
mysql_connect ...
mysql_select_db ...
$id = 2;
$image = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM store WHERE id=$id");
$image = mysql_fetch_assoc($image);
$image = $image['image'];
echo $image;
?>
</body>
</html>
First, some caveats:
Don't use the mysql_* functions
Don't store images in SQL. Store the location. (You may already be doing this).
If you're storing the location, you'll need to add <img> tags to the echo
echo "<img src='$image'>";
Maybe you need to echo the markup also?
echo '<img src="'.$image.'">';

I have created a members.php page that connects to a database table. The table has the following fields: id, username, profile image.
The following PHP code displays the profile image for each user in rows of 6 and allows each image to be clickable.
<?php
// The code below will display the current users who have created accounts with: **datemeafterdark.com**
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM profile_aboutyou");
$row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$id = $row1["id"];
$_SESSION['id'] = $id;
$profileimagepath = $row1["profileimagepath"];
$_SESSION['profileimagepath'] = $profileimagepath;
$count = 0;
while($dispImg=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if($count==6) //6 images per row
{
print "</tr>";
$count = 0;
}
if($count==0)
print "<tr>";
print "<td>";
?>
<center>
<img src="<?php echo $dispImg['profileimagepath'];?>" width="85px;" height="85px;">
</center>
<?php
$count++;
print "</td>";
}
if($count>0)
print "</tr>";
?>
This is all great, however, when I click on the image that loads it re-directs me to: viewmemberprofile.php which is what it is supposed to do. But it always displays the same image with the same id value (i.e.) 150 no matter which image I click. What I would like to have happened is. If I click on an image with id 155 etc... it will display content for that image data field not consistently the same image data regardless of which image I click.
Your help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that I do use sessions so... when I am re-directed to the viewmemberprofile.php page I use the following code to aide in getting the data that I need from the table.
<?php
$id = $_SESSION['id'];
echo($id);
?>
<?php
echo('<br>');
?>
<?php
$profileimagepath = $_SESSION['profileimagepath'];
?>
<img src="<?php echo($profileimagepath);?>" width="50px;" height="50px;">
I have yet to impliment the suggested solution.
You need to pass the ID of the row to viewmemberprofile.php, e.g.:
<a href="viewmemberprofile.php?id=<?= $dispImg['profileimagepath'] ?>">
And viewmemberprofile.php needs to select that row from the DB:
SELECT * FROM profile_aboutyou WHERE id = $_GET['id']
The above SQL statement is pseudo-code; you need to write actual code to accomplish what it is describing, preferably using parameterized queries.
over the last couple of days I've been working on a application that let's a user upload a image and store the image in my filesystem and the file path in my database. I'm almost done but i have come across a brick wall.
The image gets uploaded to my filesystem and the file path stored in my database just fine. put when i go to the page that displays the images. it returns them as
"broken images"
here's the code that is giving me trouble
<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
session_start();
$uname = $_SESSION['username'];
$userid = $_SESSION['id'];
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>OurFile's Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
require("pdoconn.php");
//img_path is the column in my DB that holds the image URL.
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT img_path FROM ourimages");
$stmt->execute();
while($result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH))
{
echo '<br><img src="' . $result['img_path'] . '" />';
}
$conn = null;
?>
</body>
</html>
any help would be appropriated.
Thank you for your future responses
i edited the code. using ed and jay's suggestions...but its still
output the same result
You can't do this:
<img src="<?php echo $value; ?>" />
because you're using $value to loop over every column in the table. The src attribute needs to be a URL, but I'm guessing only one column in your ourimages table holds a URL. You're outputting an image for every column thanks to this:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM ourimages"); // gets every column
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);
foreach ($result as $value) // uses every column
{
The simple fix is to change your SQL:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT whateverColumnHasTheURL FROM ourimages");
Then use that column like this:
<img src="<?php echo $result->whateverColumnHasTheURL; ?>" />
Or, you can use the SELECT * ..., but just use the one column in the <img> tag:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM ourimages");
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);
echo "<br>";?> <img src="<?php echo $result->whateverColumnHasTheURL; ?>" /><?php
Note: If you're actually trying to loop over the rows, you need to put $stmt->fetch in a loop, as in while ($result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);) { echo... }
Using a foreach loop to output the results of the query is an interesting way of doing things. Most folks use a while loop like this:
while($result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH))
{
echo '<br><img src="' . $result['column_with_image_path'] . '" />';
}
Since you're selecting all of the columns from your table you need to be specific about the identifier you use in the image tag.
How can i use php to get an image url from database (based on user id) and display it out as an image.
http://mysite.com/img.php?id=338576
The code below shows a php script goes to a database , check whether the specific user(using the id in the link above) exist then get the image url out of that user's row.
<?php
//connect to database
include ("connect.php");
//Get the values
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
//get the image url
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='$id'")
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if($row)
{
$img_url = row['imgurl'];
mysql_close($connect);
}
else{
}
?>
The $Img_url is an actual image link www.asite.com/image.jpg
The problem is how can i use php to make an image from the image link($img_url)? By which http://mysite.com/img.php?id=338576 will turn into an image.
I hope someone could guide me
Thanks!
The easiest way:
header('Location: url/to/image');
You could also proxy the request, which uses your bandwidth:
echo(file_get_contents('url/to/image'));
This is pretty basic stuff. Am I understanding you correctly? I would just do this:
<?php
$img_html = '<img src="' . $img_url . '" />';
echo $img_html;
?>
Or check this answer:
How do I script a php file to display an image like <img src="/img.php?imageID=32" />?
I am not able to display image using this code. Could any one help me in correcting?
<?php
include("connect.php");
$sql="select * from profile where userid=3";
$row=mysql_query($sql);
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
echo $row['image'];
?>
Try
<?php
include("connect.php");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM profile WHERE userid='3'";
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query($sql));
echo '<img src="'.$row['image'].'" />';
?>
Depends how your information is stored in the database. If you have stored the path to a picture, this will be the right way. If you have stored the whole picture, this must be done another way.
Have you tried this way:-
echo "<img src=\"".$row['image']."\">";
I've scoured the web for a tutorial about this simple task, but to no avail. And so I turn to you helpful comrades. Here's what I need to do:
I have a MySQL database with an Events table. I need to create a PHP web page with a list of the Event titles, and each title must be a link to the full details of the Event. But I want to avoid having to create a static page for each event, primarily because I don't want the data entry volunteer to have to create these new pages. (Yes, I realize that static pages are more SEO friendly, but I need to forego that in this case for the sake of efficiency.)
I've seen PHP url syntax with something like this:
pagename.php?id=20
but I don't know how to make it work.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Kip
This is basic php. You would simply query the DB for the event details before the page headers are written and write the html accordingly.
The first thing I would ask you is if you know how to connect to your database. From there, you query based on the $_GET['id'] value and use the results to populate your html.
Not to be rude, but the question itself suggests you're new to PHP, right? So in order to provide a solution that works we might want to know just how far you got.
Also, you can rewrite your dynamic urls to appear like static ones using apache's mod_rewrite. It's probably a novice level thing if you're interested in "pretty" url's.
MODIFIED ANSWER:
In your loop you would use the id from the query result (assuming your primary key is id)...
while($field = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<p class='date'>";
echo $field['month']." ".$field['day'].", ".$field['year'];
echo "</p>";
echo "<h3>";
echo ''.$field['event_name'].'';
echo "</h3>";
}
Then on somepage.php you would use the get var id to pull the relevant info...
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `calendar` WHERE `id` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id'])."');
don't forget to look into mysql_real_escape_string() for cleaning entries.
It's wise to take extra care when you are using $_GETvariables, because them can be easily altered by a malicious user.
Following with the example, you could do:
$foo = (int)$_GET['id'];
So we are forcing here the cast of the variable to a integer so we are sure about the nature of the data, this is commonly used to avoid SQL injections.
lets say you have the php file test.php
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("db", $conn);
$id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = "select * from table where id = $id";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
if ($result){
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$title = $row[0];
$content = $row[1];
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo $title ?></h1>
<p><?php echo $content ?></p>
</body>
</html>
a dynamic page would be something like that..
Here is the pertinent code for extracting a list of events in November from a table named calendar, with each event having a link to a page called event.php and with the event's id field appended to the end of the url:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM calendar WHERE sort_month='11'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{echo
"<a href='event.php?id=".$row['id']."'>".$row['event_name']."</a>"
;}
And here is the pertinent code on the event.php page. Note the row numbers in brackets depends on the placement of such in your table, remembering that the first row (field) would have the number 0 inside the brackets:
$id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = "select * from calendar where id = $id";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $con);
if ($result){
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$title = $row[12];
$content = $row[7];
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo $title ?></h1>
<p><?php echo $content ?></p>
</body>
</html>
This works for me, thanks to the help from those above.
$foo=$_GET['id'];
in your example $foo would = 20
