Display an image from database?

Question

I'm trying to display image from the database. But nothing is going to display. My code is as below: In the photo database, I have made one table named:photo inside that table there is two field id and photo. Id is auto increment. in photo .image location is saved.

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
$db = mysql_select_db("photo",$con);

$sql_image = "select * from photo";
$sql_select =  mysql_query($sql_image);

while($data = mysql_fetch_array($sql_select)) {
    echo '<img src="/images/'.$data->photo.'"/>';
}
?>

You are using [an **obsolete** database API](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12859942/19068) and should use a [modern replacement](http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlinfo.api.choosing.php). — Quentin, Feb 06 '13 at 11:06
So what output do you get? What output do you expect? Are you getting real URLs in the output? What do you get if you request them (404? 500? 403?)? — Quentin, Feb 06 '13 at 11:06

mysql_fetch_array returns an array, not an object. Use $data['photo'] to access it.

Replace echo '<img src="/images/'.$data->photo.'"/>';

To echo '<img src="/images/".$data[photo]."/>';

Instead of

while($data = mysql_fetch_array($sql_select)) {
        echo '<img src="/images/'.$data->photo.'"/>';
    }

Try this:

while($data = mysql_fetch_array($sql_select)) {
    echo '<img src="/images/'.$data['photo'].'"/>';
}
