Get uploaded picture from mysql database

[eluser]rochellecanale[/eluser]
Controller:

Code:

public function viewMember(){
            $data['user'] = $this->user_model->getUserWhere();
            $this->load->view('sites/viewmember',$data);
            $this->load->view('templates/footer');
}

View

Code:

<?php
              
                    $this->db->select('file_path');
                    $query = $this->db->get('upload');

                    if ($query->num_rows() > 0){
                        $row = $query->row();
                        $path = $row->file_path;
                    }
                    echo "Path from DB: ".$path;
                    echo "<img src='$path' height='100' width='100' alt='from database'>";  //displays image border only
                    exit();
              ?&gt;

By the way i didn't use a model this time. I redirect my query to the view.
