Assign Image SRC in php

Question

After retrieve image path from database I want to pass it to <img> tag to show up, I read this solution, but I do not want to echo it, I want to assign it as src for image tag

I tried this:

$image = mysqli_fetch_array($user_images);
$img1 = $image['file_path'];
$imageData = base64_encode(file_get_contents($img1));
$src = 'data: '.mime_content_type($img1).';base64,'.$imageData;

How can I assign $src to image, I tried this but no luck :(

<img id="img1" width="150" height="150" src="' . $src . '"/>

Thanks in advance.

Inside the HTML you still need to echo the value of $src. This should work:

<img id="img1" width="150" height="150" src="<?php echo $src; ?>"/>
