How do I echo a .png image to the browser?

I am a newbie to .php

I have an html form, when the user clicks submit, the .php form handler needs to post an image to the posted back html document. I have hard coded the file path as a variable but I get a broken image icon. (.img)

here is my code from the php file:
//process.php

Code: Select all: <html><body> <?php //$item = $_POST['item']; $item ="2010"; $url = "C:\wamp\www\FORM PROCESSING\Climate_Images\Portland Climate Summary for Year " . $item .".png"; echo "<img src=\"$url\""; ?>

I am using WAMP for dev on localhost. Just wondering if I need to do something to config the mime types or if maybe my php syntax is incorrect?

Thank You , Brian

Its a webserver where your images are stored. <img src =" takes a URL or relative location" />

Code: Select all: // a link to my image $url="http://localhost/sandbox/images/film-cult.png"; echo "<img src={$url} />"; // this should work for yours. $url = "http://localhost/FORM PROCESSING/Climate_Images/Portland Climate Summary for Year " . $item .".png"; echo "<img src={$url} />";

for fiture reference if you need to use a backslash in a string variable you need to add it twice to escape it \\.
