Hi Sashi: You're incurring in this error because the headers for the page have already been issued in the head section of your page. When you issue the php header() function, it will generate an error.
Anyway, you are storing a path to a file in the database. My question is: do you want to put your images on a subfolder of your site, where they will become acessible through regular URLS, or you want to keep them private and only accessible by scripting? Cheers.

I have written a sort of code for the purpose. All I am getting in my browser after using the code is a long set of ASCII characters with the following warning *Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\wamp\www\mysqli.php:65) in *C:\wamp\www\mysqli.php* on line *237 * I am herewith attaching my code. If anyone can point out the error or give some kind of advice that would be really great. The location of the image is stored in a table by the name IMAGE under the column name Location and here in the code, the location is retrieved under the varibale name $Location. thanks, Sashi /<html> <body> <form action="mysqli.php" method="post"> <br> <div align="center"> Building Name:<select name="name"> <option value=""> Select a Building</option> <option value="Agnew Hall">Agnew Hall</option> <option value="Rector Field House">Rector Field House</option> <option value="Richard B.
