Hi, how can I load images on a page using mysql? I can have a column that has the appropriate HTML tag but this is very time consuming. Is there any other way?

If not, then how can I build my form to accept the image name only, and then to insert the full HTML tag
(<img src...etc)
into the DB?

Thank you very much

lexios,

i personally use "dynamic image php" extension by Tim Green, which is really good generally as it allows you to specify a default "no image" message and other cool shit.

however the other way to do it is to simply add an image and edit the code so that the <i>name</i> of the image you will use is drawn from a database (using a PHP echo or the ASP equivalent). Provided your images are in the same folder, you should be able to draw the images from it.

have a look on the "extensions" section of this site and find the extension, it's the best option in most cases.
