    <h3>Disk Access = slow</h3> <p>You have a couple of options. One is to check that the file exists each and every time you need to display it. Unfortunately, this is less than ideal because disk reads can be a performance bottleneck. It's not a tenable solution if you're serving up hundreds of page loads a minute. In high-performance environments you want to avoid as many file stats as possible:</p> <pre><code>$img_dir = '/path/to/artist/images'; $expected_file = $img_dir . '/' . $artist_name . '.jpg'; $img = file_exists($expected_file) ? $artist_name : 'default'; </code></pre> <h3>Hard-code the names into your code</h3> <p>Another, if you have a small number of artists whose images you need to display is to hard-code in the names for the images you have:</p> <pre><code>$authors = array('Bill Shakespeare', 'Douglas Adams', 'Ralph Ellison'); $img = in_array($artist_name, $authors) ? $artist_name : 'default'; </code></pre> <p>Of course, this isn't particularly helpful because then you'll need to edit your code each time your catalog of artist images changes.</p> <h3>The best idea ...</h3> <p>The preferred option in this instance would be this: </p> <blockquote> <p>Since you're already hitting the database to get the artist records, store the relevant image filename in a database column of the artists table. That way you can avoid the superfluous disk access.</p> </blockquote> <p>This method allows you to retrieve the filename from the database with your original query. If the field is empty you'll know to display the default image instead.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
