Hello all, php newbie here. I’ve set up a table in my database which holds images along with a title and description for each image. I’m trying to now display the images along with their relative titles and descriptions, but all I get is a page full of strange characters. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to display images from a db so any help would be appreciated. I’m attaching a screenshot of my table from phpMyAdmin for your reference. Thanks!
