Change of image

[edanlee]

ok so i have a database of contacts so a company can add and remove information from the contact list. we decided to do a image of each person. i made a image that is a placeholder if the image field is empty but i'm having trouble setting it up now. heres what i have:

<img src="<?php echo $row_contacts['image']; ?>" width="128" height="128">

that is the code to get the image from the image field in mysql. how can i code that to do like a if image field is empty then display this image <img src="/images/noimage.jpg" width="128" height="128">

thanks for the help...hopefully,
Edanlee

<img src="<?php if ($row_contacts['image']) { echo $row_contacts['image']; } else { echo '/images/noimage.jpg'; } ?>" width="128" height="128">

Would it not be easier to just default the field in the database to the noimage path.

That way there is no checking involved. If it has an image it shows the image, otherwise it shows the noimage.

Yep, I'd agree with Vacunita, you shouldn't be doing this in the code if its somthing the database can handle itself.

Just use the 'defult' value in the image field to list that url.
