Image not showing up when fetching from database?

Question

PHP

Hi all!
I extract information from the database. Everything is displayed, except for pictures (they are default)
Please look at the code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news ",$link);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

do{
    echo '
    <h2>'.$row["title"].'</h2>
    <img src="/images/'.$row["image"].'"/>
    <p>'.$row["text"].'</p>
        
    ';
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result));

Answer 1

Couldn't this be written more concisely?

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news ",$link);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

    echo '
    <h2>'.$row["title"].'</h2>
    <img src="/images/'.$row["image"].'"/>
    <p>'.$row["text"].'</p>
        
    ';

  var_dump($row['image']); //посмотрите что внутри
}

Answer 2

Do you store the path to the image or directly the image itself in the database?
