The title, entry and firstname values are successfully displayed on the resulting page. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the picture to be displayed. Note that the picture was successfully stored in the database and I was able to view it on a separate page using a simple select query. It is now just a question of how to get it to display on this particularly crowded page. Anyone knows how I can output the picture in the img tag? I tried placing the header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); statement at the top of the php segment, then just right below the select query and finally just right above the img tag, but in every case, I just got a big white blank page starring at me. How and where should I place the header statement? And what else am I to do to get this picture displayed? Any help is appreciated. I want my mysql database to be displayed across the screen similar to the below Entry 1 Entry 2 Entry 3 Entry 4 Entry 5 eventually with a image above the name, but for now just as above.
How would I go about this?

"</td>"; echo "<td width='20%'>"; echo "<a href='delitem.php'>Delete Item</a>" . "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; } could someone please help me display this correctly? thanks in advance Hi, wondering if somebody can tell me where I'm going wrong (I'm new to all of this). I have the following php code which uploads an image file into my database: Code: [Select] //Connect to database include 'Resources/Include/db.inc.php'; $tmp=$_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; //get users IP $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; //Don't do anything if file wasn't selected if (!empty($tmp)) { //Copy file to temporary folder copy($tmp, "./temporary/".$ip.""); //open the copied image, ready to encode into text to go into the database $filename1 = "./temporary/".$ip; $fp1 = fopen($filename1, "rb"); //record the image contents into a variable $contents1 = fread($fp1, filesize($filename1)); $contents1 = addslashes($contents1); //close the file fclose($fp1); $ftype = $_FILES['image']['type']; //insert information into the database if(!mysql_query("INSERT INTO LetterImages (Data,Type,LetterID,Page)"." VALUES ( '$contents1', '$ftype',1,1)")){ echo mysql_error(); } //delete the temporary file we made unlink($filename1); } This seems to work ok, as when I go to the LetterImages table there is now an additional row with a file in the blob field. I then have the following code which is supposed to display the image: Code: [Select] $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM LetterImages WHERE LetterID=1 AND Page=1"); //fetch data from database $sqldata=mysql_fetch_array($result); $encoded=stripslashes($sqldata['Data']); $ftype=$sqldata['Type']; //tell the browser what type of image to display header("Content-type: $ftype"); //decode and echo the image data echo $encoded; Instead of displaying an image, however, this just displays pages and pages of incomprehensible data. Can anybody tell me where I'm going horribly wrong? Hey, I have written a script for a very simple PHP wall and comment system. This works fine but the problem I have is displaying the comments. It seems to display the comments associated with the post as well as the comments on the posts above it. I have checked the database and the post ID's are correct. Here is my code: Code: [Select] <?php $wallDisplay = ''; $commentDisplay = ''; $wallDisplaySql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wall WHERE to_id='$id' ORDER BY datetime DESC") or die (mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($wallDisplaySql)){ $wallPostId = $row["id"]; $to_id = $row["to_id"]; $from_id = $row["from_id"]; $message = $row["message"]; $dateTime = $row["datetime"]; $getFromData = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM members WHERE id='$from_id'") or die (mysql_error()); while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($getFromData)){ $wallUsername = $row2['username']; } $displayComments = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM wallComments WHERE wallPostId='$wallPostId' ORDER BY datetime DESC"); while($row3 = mysql_fetch_array($displayComments)){ $wallComment = $row3['comment']; $commentFrom = $row3['from_id']; $commentDate = $row3['datetime']; $getUsername = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM members WHERE id='$commentFrom'"); while($row4 = mysql_fetch_array($getUsername)){ $commentUsername = $row4['username']; } $cheersCheck_pic = "members/$commentFrom/pic1.jpg"; $cheersDefault_pic = "members/0/defaultMemberPic.jpg"; if (file_exists($cheersCheck_pic)) { $cheers_pic = "<img src=\"$cheersCheck_pic?$cacheBuster\" width=\"40px\" />"; } else { $cheers_pic = "<img src=\"$cheersDefault_pic\" width=\"40px\" />"; } $commentDisplay .= '<table width="500px" align="right" cellpadding="4" bgcolor="#FFF"> <tr> <td width="10%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><a href="member_profile.php?id=' . $commentFrom .

Thanks in advance for any help Hi im not sure if this can be done or not but im trying to do a site without using mysql and i want to be able to compare 3 values and depending on the values have them aranged lowest to highest... for example: Apple = 8 Pear = 3 Bannana = 5 so the results would be displayed like... Pear with a total of 3 bannana with a total of 5 Apple with a total of 8 Is this possible using just PHP or will i need to use Mysql as well... Thank you Chris Hi guys, is it possible to update a field ina a database using a select box. So far i have populated the select box with database values and it works fine, however i dont know how to update the field properly in a database. have a look at the code and tell me what you think.

First off, here is the code in question. Code: [Select] <?php //GET CONFIG include_once('../scripts/config.inc.php'); //SET VARIABLES TO SOMETHING A BIT SHORTER FOR THE DATABASE OPTIONS $host = $config['db_settings']['db_host']; $user = $config['db_settings']['db_user']; $pass = $config['db_settings']['db_pass']; $prefix = $config['db_settings']['db_prefix']; $db = $config['db_settings']['db_name']; $con = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); $select_db = mysql_select_db($db); $c_tables = ''; $c_database = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS $db;"; //NOW CONNECT TO THE SERVER if ($con){ echo('Connected Succesfully to the Server <br />'); } else die('Could not connect to database: ' . mysql_error()); //NOW CONNECT TO THE DATABASE if ($select_db){ echo('Selected Database Succesfully <br />'); } //IF DATABASE COULD NOT BE SELECTED THEN TRY TO MAKE IT else if(!$select_db){ echo('Could not select the databse. Trying to create it... <br />'); if(mysql_query($c_database)){ echo('Database has been created...<br />'); if($select_db){ echo('Database Has Been Selected.'); } else die('Can not select database!' . mysql_error()); } else die('Could not created the database!'); } else die ('Could not create or select the database!: ' . mysql_error() . '<br />'); //NOW CREATE THE TABLES mysql_close; ?>The problem is, that if I drop the database to test that it creates the database, it does indeed make it, but after it makes the database it will not select it until I reload the page and intern the script. So this is the output I would get. (The fact that there is no error is what is causing me to be confused) 1st load that makes new database: Quote Connected Succesfully to the Server Could not select the databse. Trying to create it... Database has been created... Can not select database! 2nd load that should not be needed to select the database: Quote Connected Succesfully to the Server Selected Database Succesfully |
