Echo Image from get PHP

Question

I know it may sound stupid, but im trying to echo an image that i get his name from the url, i dont get anything only the alt text of the image.

This is my code

<?php
$url =  $_GET["userpic"];
$DisplayImg = "./Imagenes/".$url.".jpg";
?>
<html>
<body>

<img src="<?php echo $DisplayImg; ?>" alt="Error" width="100%" height="100%" border="0" /> 
</body>
</html>

[error reporting](http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php) and `var_dump();` - 2 invaluable tools at your disposal. — Funk Forty Niner, May 05 '15 at 19:39
if you get the alt text, then your `src` url is incorrect, and the browser is getting a 404 trying to fetch it. — Marc B, May 05 '15 at 19:41
$DisplayImg = "./Imagenes/"'.$url.'".jpg"; i think you need an extra '' on the .$url. — ledesma, May 05 '15 at 19:49
Yes is a 404 error, and i tryied with the full path too and nothing, i look in the console (dont know a nearly nothing with it) and this is the url i think is using http://mydomain./myweb/;%20?%3E — Dante, May 05 '15 at 19:50
Dante, I put your code on my server and it worked. Are you sure u got an .php file? — ledesma, May 05 '15 at 19:59
@GilbertoGonçalvesMachado I try it now in an .php and it work thanks, but i need it to work in a html is there any way to make so? — Dante, May 05 '15 at 20:02
^ why did I know that ^ - **A:** Instruct Apache to treat them as such. — Funk Forty Niner, May 05 '15 at 20:05

Try this:

<html>
<body>
<img src="../Imagenes/<?php echo $_GET["userpic"]; ?>.jpg" alt="Error" width="100%" height="100%" border="0" /> 
</body>
</html>

If that still dont work then your path is wrong you can see it by adding

<?php echo "<a href='../Imagenes/".$_GET["userpic"].".jpg'>this should link to your image</a>"; ?>

Dante,

Change the extension to .php instead of .html

If you want to run a php code into a .html refer to How do I add PHP code/file to HTML(.html) files?
