Inserting paths to mysql database images

Hello,

I am happily use a Mysql/PHP setup in Dreamweaver cs4 to populate my webpages with text and numerical info. However, I cannot work out how to insert paths to images (Dreamweaver does not seem to accept image Blobs - just dispalys a load of gobbledygook - but prob not good for perforance anyway).

So in Mysql i have a 'text' field with my image path entered - localhost/wwwroot/websitename/images/picture.jpg

I have tried shortening the string to simply /imagespicture.jpg; or using backslashes, but nothing works.

Dreamweaver just displays the path text and not the image in Live Data or Live View.

Thanks in anticipation
