In most cases you can just include the path when you call the image, like
this:
<img src="images/mapOfTheWeek/thumbnails/<?php echo
$row_getMap['mapWeek_imageNameThumb']; ?>" border="0" />

this may be a daft question but, where would you put the code?

<img src="images/mapOfTheWeek/thumbnails/<?php echo
$row_getMap['mapWeek_imageNameThumb']; ?>" border="0" />

Thanks

In fact, that's the way you normally would do it. It's not a good idea to
include paths in the data field, since if the path ever changed, you would
have to edit EVERY record.
