i have a database consisting of part number, item name, price. i want to save the pictures in images folder. when i am showing the products data with the above fields i also want to show the picture of the same. i am saving the picture in jpg format with partnumber as its name, please guide me on how to do this. i made the page with the above fields. its working fine. but what about the picuter how can i show it next to the other data of that record.

The two likely options are either

• Storing the image along with the other data, as a binary object (blob)
  
• or
  
• Storing the image path as a string along with the other data

The second should be more simple to implement, you would have to write an <img> tag to display the image with the image path you retrieve. The first will require a helper page to display the image, although will also be dynamic as the second one in terms of having to use image tags.

Perhaps something like this?:

The Part's Picture: <img src="the_images_folder/<?php echo $part_number ?>.jpg">

do you want to display the image from database or from a folder? if from the database, it's better to create a column for the path of the image, it means all you will get from the database is just the path where the image in, so that you can display it beside your other stuff dynamically. and you can use different images for different products.
