How to echo images based on data from database? (Mysql, Php)

Question

I am doing some sort of online storefront and each item has a corresponding image in the database. i need to echo the image of that specific item, how do i do it? This is what i've done, But it doesn't seem to work:

<?php
  $prebuy = "SELECT lot_image FROM lots WHERE  lot_id= '$lot_id'";
  $prebuyres = mysqli_query($mysqli, $prebuy) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
  $lot_name = mysqli_fetch_assoc($prebuyres);
?>
<img src="C:\\xampp\htdocs\storefront\img\<?php  echo ucwords($lot_name['lot_image']); ?>" 

The image does not appear but there is no error either. What am i doing wrong? Please, help if you can.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You missed enclosing img tag. try this way...and what about ucwords, to be sure first check result before using it.

 echo ucwords($lot_name['lot_image']); 

<img src="C:\\xampp\htdocs\storefront\img\<?=ucwords($lot_name['lot_image'])?>"/> 

Edit:
set you image source relative to your php script in server like

   <img src="img/<?=ucwords($lot_name['lot_image']);?>"/>
