"Displaying jpg pic with PHP"

hiya all

i have a webpage that displays a players profile when his name is selected from a drop down menu, the profile info is retrieved from a Database table and displayed, i`d like to display the players picture as well, but not sure on how to do this.

At present i have the pics stored in a folder on the webserver called profilepics.

Could anyone help me with the code to select the correct picture from that folder when retieving the players profile from the database?

Or should i be storing the pic in the database? (if so even more help is needed.)

Any ideas or help would gr8.

Many thx in advance.

Lo JTD

Maybe your mis-understanding was due to my poor explaination, but no worries cos its all sorted now, plus ive also learnt that you can not create a combo box which displayed a members name and photo in a list.

So thx for your incorrect but interesting advice.

Have a good wkend.
