Something small missing

[oo7ml]

I table that randomly selects an entry from a certain field my mySQL database

The field hold the directory for image uploads (C:/wamp/www/site/uploaded_files/1169563553.jpg)

So the page selects the fieldname contents and prints them out into the table cell

My question is, how can i get the image itself to be displayed ???

This is the code i am using to get the image directory from the database

while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "{$list['file']} ";
}

It is working as far as printing the directory into the cell but how do i get the image itself to show, where do i put the image tags on the ablove code or is that the correct way of doing this at all

echo "<img src='{$list['file']}' alt=''>";

Still doesn't work, i have:

<?php
while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<img src='{$list['file']}' alt=''>";
}
?>

Sorry it works on IE but not in firefox ..... Is there anyway around this to get it working on both

What does the HTML source code look like that it generates? I'm guessing that you'll need to grab the file name (perhaps with the basename() function) and append it to a full URL string or a document root path, e.g.:

echo "<img src='/site/uploaded_files/".basename($list['file'])."' alt=''>";

If the path/to/file is wrong, then it wouldn't/couldn't work for neither IE nor FF. The problem has to lie elsewhere... no?

<td width=501>

<?php
while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<img src='{$list['file']}' alt=''>";
}
?>
</td>


This is the exact code i have, WHAT could it be, it's really strange, is it just one of thos differences between FF and IE or am i doing something wrong. Anyone any idea what could be causing it

The HTML code that is generated is:

<td width=501 >

<img src='C:/wamp/www/site/uploaded_files/1169570533.jpg' alt=''>
</td>

NogDog asked what code is being generated (resulting HTML source code).

The code NogDog posted works (here) with IE7 and FF2...
