I have a MySQL database
I have a column id called "picture"
The picture column stores file names
The files corresponding to the file names are stored on my htdocs root directory
I would like to display the image data stored in these file names.
The code below (finally) works buy my question is .... Is this the most efficient way to display the image. When I say efficient I mean is it the quickest way to code this..
require_once("database_connect.php");
$getinfo = mysql_query( "SELECT picture FROM historylist ORDER BY date_played LIMIT 0, 1"); // i think this gets the information
$answer = mysql_fetch_array($getinfo); // i think this stores the information into the variable $answer
{
echo "<img src=\"/{$answer['picture']}\" alt=\"\" />";
}
