I attempted to display the image using PHP with the following code
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$port = "*";
$server = "*:".$port;
$dbname ="*";
$user = "*";
$conn = mysql_connect ("$server", "$user", "$pass") or die ("Connection
Error or Bad Port");
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Missing Database");
$speakerPic = $_POST['speakerPic'];
$query = "SELECT Speaker.speaker_picture AS image FROM Speaker JOIN Contact c USING(contact_id)
WHERE c.lname = '";
$query .= $speakerPic."';";
$result = mysql_query($query,$dbname);
$result_data = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
echo $result_data['image'];
?>
I keep on receiving this error, The image “.../query2.php” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.
Sorry to keep on bugging you guys, but can anyone tell what the problem is?
Not going to lie, there is a lot of bad with the OP code.
Not going to clean up the code too much, just make it less bad. I'd suggest something along these lines (untested):
// Utility.php
class Utility
{
/**
*
* @param mixed $id is abstract, could be name or an actual id
* @return string?
*/
public static function getImage($id)
{
try {
$port = "*";
$server = "*:".$port;
$dbname ="*";
$user = "*";
$conn = mysql_connect ("$server", "$user", "$pass");
if (!$conn) {
throw new Exception("Connection Error or Bad Port");
}
if (!mysql_select_db($dbname)) {
throw new Exception("Missing Database");
}
$query = "SELECT Speaker.speaker_picture AS image FROM Speaker JOIN Contact c USING(contact_id) WHERE c.lname = " . mysql_real_escape_string($id). ";";
$result = mysql_query($query,$dbname);
$result_data = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
if (!isset($result_data['image'])) {
throw new Exception('Image not found');
}
echo $result_data['image'];
} catch Exception($e) {
error_log($e->getMessage();
return file_get_contents('/path/to/some/default/image.png');
}
}
}
// image.php
require_once 'Utility.php';
header('Content-type: image/png');
ob_start();
Utility::getImage($_POST['speakerPic']);
$image = ob_get_flush();
echo $image;
