Re: Retrieving Image Location in PHP from MySQL

Hi, Worked perfectly. Thank you very much. -Sashi Dollah Ihsan wrote:

Hi, you are using single quotes like this? echo ' <img src="imgtest.php?id=$building" />'; single quotes will ignore that "$building" variable. Just concatenate it: echo '<img src="imgtest.php?id=' . $building . '"'; or use double quotes: echo "<img src=\"imgtest.php?id=$building\">"; It should work I think, sorry if it does not.

Hello everyone, Is there any way in which I can assign a variable to a query string? Like for example, Let us say that there are two php files a.php and b.php. I am currently using a image tag like <img src="imgtest.php?id=Williams Hall" /> in a.php and am passing the value to another variable using $build=$_GET['id']; in b.php. Now for this purpose, I am using the img tag in the html part of my first file which makes it kind of static. Now if I want to assign a variable (say $building) to 'id' in my first file, and retrieve it using the variable $build in the second file what is the best way to do it? Will the command (written inside the PHP tags) echo ' <img src="imgtest.php?id=$building />'; be of any help in performing the task. I have actually tried this out, but it did not work for me (May be my syntax is wrong although I have tried various combinations). So, is there a better way or correct way of doing this (If what I have done is wrong). I have tried to use $_session() command, but it is kind of yielding me a header error.
