Question

I have two tables…

project table

+----+--------+
| id | client |
+----+--------+
|  1 | James  |
|  2 | John   |
+----+--------+   

images table

+----+-----------+-------------------+
| id | projectId |     imagePath     |
+----+-----------+-------------------+
|  1 |         1 | images/image1.jpg |
|  2 |         1 | images/image2.jpg |
|  3 |         2 | images/image3.jpg |
|  4 |         2 | images/image4.jpg |
|  5 |         2 | images/image5.jpg |
+----+-----------+-------------------+

As you can see, one project has many images. I want to display that
this way…

James

images/img1.jpg
images/img2.jpg

John

images/img3.jpg
images/img4.jpg
images/img5.jpg

This post gave me what I want https://stackoverflow.com/a/2451065/1214535

But when I echo like so

<img src='".$row['imagePath']."/>

the results in image tag I get this

<img src="images/img3.jpg,images/img4.jpg,images/img5.jpg">

instead of

<img src="images/img3.jpg"/> 
<img src="images/img4.jpg"/>
<img src="images/img5.jpg"/>

How can I change the query so that I can display the images properly/separately

this is the query I am using

$sql="SELECT images.projectId,project.client,
GROUP_CONCAT(images.imagePath SEPARATOR ', ') 
AS 'imagePath' 
from project left JOIN images on project.id=images.projectId 
GROUP BY project.id ASC";

thank you guys…

You could try using foreach to loop through different values.

Syntax:

foreach (array_expression as $value)
    statement

First insert all the values you get in an array like this:

$imgArray = explode(',',$row['imagePath']);

Then loop through this array as:

foreach ($imgArray as $img)
{
 echo "<img src='$img'" />";
}
