After I Googled through, I later settled to save the path to an uploaded picture in the database and put the picture in a folder above the public folder (www). However, doing this was easy, whenever i wish to show the picture, i just get the picture ID, locate it in the database and extract the path from there, i then echo it. The problem i have is that the picture did not show and if i go through my cpanel, i see the picture there. the path is correct, i used to md5(the_path) before saving it. I checked through and i did not see anything wrong but yet the picture does not show via my php echo. I echoed the path and check with the one in the cpanel folder and evertything ok. The picture path is above the www. Any assistance on this will be appreciated before i grow grey hair. Thanks everyone

Can you post the url of this image, so we can take a look?

Can you please provide us with the code?

Are you using the appropriate version of

header('Type: image/png'); 

with your image?
Also I seem to remember a special function for echoing images.

imagepng($final);

That is for pngs but I'm sure there are variants also you can use:

$final = imagecreatefrompng("path to image from computer root!");

to fetch the image in the first place (it might even transform it for you!).
