OK - I know this is not a difficult question for you seasoned pros but for the likes of me I am having trouble sorting out the answer.<br />
I have a database of images and recipes that I want to show to the world. I am fine for the uploading part but am having difficulty with the displaying part!<br />
I am going to be storing my images on the server itself and referencing the path in the mySQL db.<br />
Here is what I want to do:<br />
1. Extract thumbnails from the database and have them link to a larger image - possibly include extra fields to dscribe the photo. I would envision using the unique ID of the photo to do this.<br />
2. Display recipe headers and have them link to the full text of the recipe - all from the db<br />
What I am looking for specifically is the code that will enable me to do this.<br />
I think the question is relatively straightforward but I am going to offer lots of points to ensure I get a good answer!<br />
Thanks a lot<br />
Tom

selecting and displaying images/text  from mysql

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
