It looks like the images are showing now. Did you find the solution? One of them has a missing image, so you probably just need an IF statement to show an image not found image instead. 
Yes I am sorry I thought I replied that I found my error, here is the correct path. You had it right but I didn't catch the silly quote mark.
<td><img src="membersPage/avatar/<?php echo($rs_birthdays->getColumnVal("avartar")); ?>" width="50" height="50"> </td>
I needed to put the php statement inside the quotes. And yes you are right I will need an IF statement for those who do not have a picture.
But now I have a worst problem, but I am trying to work around it before I reach out to you (oops i guess I am reaching out to you). It is so strange. The home1.php shows my mysql recordsets under the binding panel, but when I either refresh or click the plus sign to add the database it gives me this error message. "No tables found. Please check your connection. Which is strange because I haven't changed anything. I attached the screen shot.
