Re: how to show picture with php?

Are they on the web server, i/e under the web root? If so, just show them as you would ANY picture in HTML. $picture = '/path/to/picture/picture1.jpg'; $width = 100; $height = 50; echo "<img src=\"$picture\" width=\"$width\" height=\"$height\" border=\"0\" alt=\"My picture\">\n"; If they aren't then you will have to either move them to a folder under the web root, or do one of two workarounds: copy them to a temp file under the web root somewhere (which doesn't make much sense, because you will never really know when that file should be deleted), or extract them via PHP with a PHP script under your web root. To extract them via a PHP page is a bit more difficult, but basically involves something like this.. <img src="/path/showpic.php?picname=picture1.jpg"> And have the script look something like this: ----showpic.php---- header("Content-Disposition: filename=$picname"); header("Content-Type: $file_type"); header("Content-Length: $file_size"); readfile("/hard_drive_path/to/file/$picname"); ------------------- That's a rough sketch. But again, the easiest way to do it is just move the picture files onto somewhere on your web server and just access them like any picture, using the <img> tag and having PHP fill in the file name. -Mike At 12:28 PM 7/23/2001 +0200, Luká¹ Noskieviè wrote:
