make sure file_exists() needs to use a file path on the hard drive, not a URL — Santosh

If you want to use URL's with file_exists you need to enable allow-url-fopen — DarkBee

Problem is because you are using file system path if file is found. You should use URL and not absolute system path to present image in browser.

<?php $filename = 'resources/img/college_logo/'.trim($fetch['college_name']).'.jpg'; if (file_exists(FCPATH.$filename)) { ?> <img src="<?php echo base_url($filename); ?>"> <?php } else { ?> <img src="<?php echo base_url('resources/img/college_logo/logo_not.jpg'); ?>"> <?php } ?>
