As you can see, I'm a beginner. I now have my search page retrieving the information from MYSQL but I have the images stored in public_html/images and have the code images/something.jpg stored in MYSQL. I've tried what I could find on the web but the best I've managed is to get a broken image. I've decided to give up after about three hours of searching and admit I need help. This is the last thing I tried. I know it's wrong because it doesn't work.
$img_url = "http://www.mysite.net/public_html/images/";
{
echo '<img src="'.$img_url.$result['Images'].'" />';
}
It seemed to make some sort of sense to me so I'd appreciate an explanation of why it is wrong. Thanks
The public_html folder is the entry point to your web server on Apache servers and maps to a domain's root, i.e. some folder that is internally /public_html/index.php will be http://example.org/index.php externally.
Therefore, I believe your problem can be solved by removing public_html in your path:
$img_url = "http://www.mysite.net/images/";
{
echo '<img src="'.$img_url.$result['Images'].'" />';
}
