I am trying to do something easy I am sure but I have looked and tested and I am not doing something right.
I have a DB that stores the image file name, I need to get the file name based on the ID in the HTML , let me explain:

 <div class="slide">
                    <div class="image-holder">
                       <img src="img/asoft_table.jpg" alt="" /> 
                    </div>
                    <div class="info">

                        <p>Morbi a tellus lorem, id scelerisque ligula. Maecenas vitae turpis et.</p>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="slide">
                    <div class="image-holder">
                        <img src="img/soft_table.jpg" alt="" />
                    </div>
                    <div class="info">

                        <p>Sed semper, lorem ac lobortis bibendum, magna neque varius augue, vel accumsan.</p>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="slide">
                    <div class="image-holder">
                        <img src="img/living_room2.jpg" alt="" />
                    </div>

in each instance of an img tag, I need to insert the filename from the DB. so, first image tag would be primary key 1, second primary key 2 and so forth.
Here is the PHP script I am using to retrieve the filename, which works, but I am unsure how to send the ID of the image to the script and then return it properly.

 <?php
 $hote = 'localhost';
 $base = '*****';
 $user = '*****';
 $pass = '*****';
 $cnx = mysql_connect ($hote, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error ());
 $ret = mysql_select_db ($base) or die (mysql_error ());
 $image_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['ID']);
 $sql = "SELECT image FROM image_upload WHERE ID ='$image_id'";
 $result = mysql_query($sql);
 $image = mysql_result($result, 0);

 header('Content-Type: text/html');
 echo '<img src="' . $image . '"/>';
 exit;


 ?>

any help would be appreciated, thanks a heap

    From what it looks your trying too hard to separate the PHP from HTML.

    // File: index.php
<?php
    $hote = 'localhost';
    $base = '*****';
    $user = '*****';
    $pass = '*****';
    $cnx = mysql_connect ($hote, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error ());
    $ret = mysql_select_db ($base) or die (mysql_error ());
    $image_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['ID']);
    $sql = "SELECT image FROM image_upload WHERE ID ='$image_id'";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    //$image = mysql_result($result, 0);

    $image = array();

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        $image[] = $row["image"];
    }
?>
<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="slide">
            <div class="image-holder">
                <img src="<?php echo $image[0];?>" alt="" /> 
            </div>
            <div class="info">
                <p>Morbi a tellus lorem, id scelerisque ligula. Maecenas vitae turpis et.</p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="slide">
            <div class="image-holder">
                <img src="<?php echo $image[1];?>" alt="" />
            </div>
        <div class="info">
            <p>Sed semper, lorem ac lobortis bibendum, magna neque varius augue, vel accumsan.</p>
        </div>
    </div>
<div class="slide">
    <div class="image-holder">
        <img src="<?php echo $image[2];?>" alt="" />
    </div>
</body>
</html>


// This is the magic code to get all the rows out of the database :)
// $row[ field_name ];
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $image[]  $row["image"];
}

    Edit:
    I’m not sure if this is what your trying to accomplish, but thought I’d share anyway.

    $imageID1 = $_GET['id1'];
$imageID2 = $_GET['id2'];
$imageID3 = $_GET['id3'];

$sql = "SELECT image FROM image_upload ";
$sql = "WHERE ID = $imageID1 OR ID = $imageID2 OR ID = $imageID3";

//The rest of your code can remain the same.

    Or if one id relates to 3 images.

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM image_upload WHERE ID ='$image_id'";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    $image = array();

    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

    $image1 =  $row["image1"];
    $image2 =  $row["image2"];
    $image3 =  $row["image3"];

    I’ve you give me more info on what your trying to do, I’d be happy to give you a better example.
