.load into DIV with PHP content

Question

I am trying to .load a script called 'refreshImages.php'. Inside that script is a while loop pulling from the database. I have got it to load a single echo function but it wont load anything inside the while loop I have on the script... this is what the php file has...

<?php 
include 'includes/config.php';

$pimages = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM property_images WHERE pid='$pid'");

//Cant Post Images So Leaving The Echo Content Out//
while($img = mysql_fetch_array($pimages)){
    $image = $img['image'];
    $image_alt = $img['image_alt'];
    echo "<li>$img</li>";
}?>

I am using .load('refreshImages.php') on the page I need it to show up on. Any explanation I am not seeing?

you mean echo does work, but image and image_alt are not assigned? — fazo

echo will work outside the while loop, but anything i try to echo inside the while loop will not work, it will only work outside the while loop. Any help? — Visin

echo "<li>$img</li>"; , Is this what you want or echo "<li>$image</li>";? — emco

Your $img is an array, not a string. You will get output like <li>Array</li>, if you have stuff coming from the database. Is that what you mean? Or are you getting an empty result?

If empty - what does your mysql_num_rows tell you when ran against the result resource?

Sorry had to make it like that for StackOverflow to post the question. This is what my echo is... echo "<li><a class='thumb' href='$image'><img src='$image' width='50px' height='50px' alt='$image_alt'></a></li>"; When it loads, nothing is shown, at all, no empty results or anything, I have no clue why it wont show.

Can you edit your original post, and add what exact HTML you're getting when accessing the URL you're trying to load directly?

try changing this:

echo "<li>$img</li>";

to

echo "<li><img src=\"{$image}\" alt=\"{$image_alt}\" /></li>";

Sorry, I had to make it like that for StackOverflow, because of posting images. This is what it looks like... echo "<li><a class='thumb' href='$image'><img src='$image' width='50px' height='50px' alt='$image_alt'></a></li>"; Anything?

You may not be getting any results from the database. Try using this code which will display a message if there is something wrong with your sql query.

<?php 
include 'includes/config.php';

$pimages = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM property_images WHERE pid=" . $pid );

if (mysql_num_rows($pimages) > 0) {  // checks to see if you are getting results from db
  while($img = mysql_fetch_array($pimages)){
    $image = $img['image'];
    $image_alt = $img['image_alt'];
    echo '<li><a class="thumb" href="{$image}"><img src="{$image}" width="50px" height="50px" alt="{$image_alt}"></a></li>';
  }
} else {
  echo "no results returned from database";
} // end of mysql_num_rows check
?>

You might be better off concatenating all the images and then echo-ing it out rather than echo-ing each one e.g

$htmlOutput = '';

while($img = mysql_fetch_array($pimages)){
    $image = $img['image'];
    $image_alt = $img['image_alt'];
    $htmlOutput .= "<li><img src=\"{$image}\" alt=\"{$image_alt}\" /></li>";
}
 echo $htmlOutput ;
