How to link to an image from database result.

Question

Hey all,
So i have created a search form for a user to search a vehicle in a scrap yard. The vehicles are stored in database with no images( i have no idea how to do this. So i want to be able to allow the user to click on a link to view the vehicle from the search result in a database. Any ideas?
Thank you!

Sorry, I'm new to this game. Thanks. Well i'm using MySQL and Php. Here is the code from my stock list page which display all the results in the database aswell as a search engine to search for specific stock by searching for keywords. I know its very scrappy but here it is anyway:
<?php require_once('../Connections/cbdb.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
  session_start();
$MM_authorizedUsers = "";
$MM_donotCheckaccess = "true";
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this page
function isAuthorized($strUsers, $strGroups, $UserName, $UserGroup) {
  // For security, start by assuming the visitor is NOT authorized.
  $isValid = False;
  // When a visitor has logged into this site, the Session variable MM_Username set equal to their username.
  // Therefore, we know that a user is NOT logged in if that Session variable is blank.
  if (!empty($UserName)) {
    // Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only certain users based on an ID established when they login.
    // Parse the strings into arrays.
    $arrUsers = Explode(",", $strUsers);
    $arrGroups = Explode(",", $strGroups);
    if (in_array($UserName, $arrUsers)) {
      $isValid = true;
    // Or, you may restrict access to only certain users based on their username.
    if (in_array($UserGroup, $arrGroups)) {
      $isValid = true;
    if (($strUsers == "") && true) {
      $isValid = true;
  return $isValid;
$MM_restrictGoTo = "login.php";
if (!((isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) && (isAuthorized("",$MM_authorizedUsers, $_SESSION['MM_Username'], $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'])))) {  
  $MM_qsChar = "?";
  $MM_referrer = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
  if (strpos($MM_restrictGoTo, "?")) $MM_qsChar = "&";
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && strlen($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) > 0)
  $MM_referrer .= "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
  $MM_restrictGoTo = $MM_restrictGoTo. $MM_qsChar . "accesscheck=" . urlencode($MM_referrer);
  header("Location: ". $MM_restrictGoTo);
  exit;
?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")

    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

      break;
    case "defined":

      break;
  return $theValue;
mysql_select_db($database_cbdb, $cbdb);

$totalPages_rsStock = ceil($totalRows_rsStock/$maxRows_rsStock)-1;
