Problem loading an Image

[db2dbdba]

Hello all,

I am newbie to PHP.
I am running PHP on Apache2 on Linux and I have some 6 pages for PHP.
All PHP pages are working fine in accessing DB.

Now the problem is, I want to keep an image(GIF or JPG or anykind of image) on the page but couldn't keep the images.
If have included an image file in the folder

/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/pwdall

pwdall contains my PHP files.

suggest me where i am going wrong and how to include the images on the webpage.

Thanks for the help.

It sounds to me like you need some basic understanding of how HTML works with a web browser to serve up a page.

If your image is within the document tree on the server, then you can place it into a page using an HTML image tag, <img url="your file name here" >.

Do a search for how an image tag works and the various options you can add with in the tag brackets.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the reply.
I did the same thing and then I posted it.
Image is not coming up but the link associated with it is working for me.
It is coming as if I am using an unsupported file.

Thanks for your time

URL is NOT an attribute of the <img> tag, so that will not work. The allowed attribute is src, so your statement would look something like

<img src='pathtoimg/imgname.ext' />

If this thing does not work, why not show some of your code here? And do it within the appropriate code tags.

Hi Ronald,

Thanks so much.
It worked now. I was using double quotes.

Thanks,

[ronverdonk]

You are welcome, but I wonder what the double quotes have to do with your problem. Can you explain?

Yea, I was kind of wondering that myself.
Either type of quotes should work in the HTML. Maybe they were causing PHP parse errors?

I think it's because the original suggestion gave the OP the use of double quotes - something which didn't work. When you gave him a solution that DID work he saw it as the different quotes doing to trick.

[ronverdonk]

Thanks markus, but OP still has not answered to my question of how he thinks this was solved.

Gosh, sorry, how embarrassing. Of course I meant <img src=" etc. " > in my post. I just answered too quickly!

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay.
Even I have no idea of what made it worked. I tried the suggestions with double quotes and it didn't work but when I used the single quotes, it is just working fine.

Thanks,
