HowTo display pictures?

Depends on what you mean. Most people (including myself) will recommend against storing the actual binary file in your database. Instead, store the file name, such as "mypic.gif" in a field. Then when you pull it out it will be just like any other variable from a query:
<img src="/whateverdir/whatever/<?php echo $myPic; ?>" border=0>
Is that what you mean?
<img src="/whateverdir/whatever/<?php echo $myPic; ?>" border=0>
Is that what you mean?
So I'll work on the assumption that you mean you have a file (let's call it mypictures.txt) and the first line in it says
picture.gif, me.jpg, examples.gif
I'm also assuming that you want to read this file and get the picture names out, then display them using HTML. Going on a lot of assumptions, but here goes...
$fcontents = file('mypictures.txt');
$pictures = explode(", ", $fcontents[0]);
$picturesLen = count($pictures);
for ($i=0;$<$picturesLen;$i++)
echo "<img src='" . $pictures[$i] . "' border=0>";
Hope that's what you wanted!
