Re: PHP and Images stored in mysql

My way around this is using two fallback stages: for one you test mysql_num_rows() after performing the query. If that's 0, use a default image placed in the database beforehand. If that also returns a null mysql_num_rows() then echo an image (probably the same default) from a known location in the filesystem.
