Star Wars: The Ultimate Soundtrack image not displaying when using database instead of original catalog array

NOTE I'm using MySQL on my own local machine, not the treehouse workspaces, so this may not apply to you if you are not using the downloaded program files.

Hi all, once I switched from the associative array that was hard-coded in data.php to the associative array returned by the PDO in connection.php, the Star Wars: The Ultimate Soundtrack image was broken and did not display.

The problem seems to be this line in database.sql: INSERT INTO Media VALUES (29,'Star Wars: The Ultimate Soundtrack Collection','img/media/soundtrack_star_wars',54,'CD',2016,'Music');

The path 'img/media/soundtrack_star_wars' should have .jpg appended to it, like so: INSERT INTO Media VALUES (29,'Star Wars: The Ultimate Soundtrack Collection','img/media/soundtrack_star_wars.jpg',54,'CD',2016,'Music');

If using a local MySQL db, perform the following query and this will be updated:

UPDATE Media SET img='img/media/soundtrack_star_wars.jpg' WHERE media_id=29;

Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for this post! I am doing this course on my local machine too and noticed the error as well. I was pondering how to correct it when I came across this! Cheers to you for doing "all the work" ! XD

The image in the media table is missing .jpg You can fix this with with a SQL update statement.

UPDATE media
SET img = 'img/media/soundtrack_star_wars.jpg'
WHERE media_id = 29;
