I read a lot of books and I may say I learned a lot, but i do have a problem with the reselts of researches coming from a database. I don't have an image for each record so in the page there are X squares instead of images. Is there a possibility to avoid it?

You can create a picture that reads "no image" and use it when an image is not present.

I thought as much but I wanted a confirmation that no other solution was possible. I thank you very much for swiftness.

;;;in the page there are X squares instead of images. Is there a possibility to avoid it?

Are these broken images?

;;;I don't have an image for each record

I may have mis understood your post however if not:
If there is no image to show dont write an <img> tag to the page

Where do you have the images stored for some of those records that you say. Are they stored in DB or on HDD and you are using physical path in that case?

Use <IMG> tag only if that record has image associated with it. Else don't use <IMG> tag at all. Do this validation just before displaying the image for each record.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Images are stored in DB, the point is that I don't know how to validate so that when I see the results of the research there is no X space for the missing images. I am really a beginner and this in only a minor problem I know but I don't like those images with ?not available? on them, better than X but still not the best. Thank you for your suggestions

I don't tend to store images in DB but I would guess that if the image is not there then there will be null in the field.
So test for null.
Please show your code to extract image from db and we can show how to test for empty field or null.

Yes, Rodmcleay is right. I too would not prefer to store images in DB. In your case you should check if that is NULL or EMPTY, whichever applicable and show that accordingly.

Cheers!
