Question

I am trying to retrieve an image that is stored in a database.. I am just trying to print the name of the image right now before I even try showing the image just so I can get better at this…

right now I have a table called categories with the fields categories_id, categories_image

This is my query in php:

<?php  
$category_image_raw = "select c.categories_image from categories c where c.categories_id in(41)"; 

echo $category_image_raw['categories_image']; ?>

the field category_id 41 has an image uploaded to it. this is not working. what am I missing?

Answer 1

<?php  
$category_image_sql = "select c.categories_image from categories c where c.categories_id = 41;"; 
$category_image_query = mysql_query($category_image_sql);
$category_image_raw = mysql_fetch_array($category_image_query);
echo $category_image_raw['categories_image'];  
?>

Remember to login to mysql before.
