/var/www/html/workbench/photogallery/uploads/logo2.jpg



now I want to display the same in browser the following method does not work



<div id="photos">
<h3>Photo title</h3>
<P class="like"><a href="#">Like</a> </P>
<p class="date">date </p>
<p class="pclear" />
<div id="image">
<img src="<?php echo $result_set['path']; ?>" />
</div>
<p class="about">about image goes here</p>
</div>


above code doesn't work. when I edit the path manually to uploads/logo2.jpg it works perfectly

  • Your server and client machine should be the same, are they?

  • Never ever post an absolute path to the client. It's a large security risk. Use a path relative to the hostname, or just a relative path.

You need to use an url, not a path.



This:



/var/www/html/workbench/photogallery/uploads/logo2.jpg


is a physical path, the address on that server where the image is found. You need to use an url available for your visitors. I guess that you have a name mapped to that server (something like localhost or www.example.com).



From the structure I guess that your url would be something like



http://www.example.com/photogallery/uploads/logo2.jpg


where www.example.com is the base url you are using to get to that application

      Try this it works for me and keeps the location of the images hidden from the browser.



      <img src='fake.php' style='max-width:90px;'/>


      Create a file called fake.php as follows



      <?php
      $thePic = "/var/www/html/workbench/photogallery/uploads/logo2.jpg";
      $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($thePic);
      // Output image and free up the memory
      header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
      imagejpeg($image);
      imagedestroy($image);
      ?>


      You can adjust the code in the fake.php file to retrieve the location of $thePic from posted data or database, etc.
