[ale] PHP hates JPG

[James Sumners]

echo '<img src="../images/I/' . $ID . '/' .
htmlentities($row1['FileName']) . '" alt="">';

You need to quote the array index if it is a named index. The call to
htmlentities() should fix any problems with odd file names (spaces,
etc.). Other than that, there is nothing you have shown us that would
cause PHP to parse the image as code. You are merely working with
text. If you are having a problem with the image being parsed as code,
the culprit is in another block.
