No, it wouldn't. alt="" would produce exactly that when the cursor is over
the picture "", blank, zero, zilch, nothing, notta sozzidge. There is no
point in storing nothing in a database, and even less in storing the same
thing for each record.

$alt="alt=\" This is my standard text.\" ";
$Query="select piccy from piccy_table where etc";
while ($Row=mysql_fetch_array ($Result))
{
$piccy=$Row[piccy_filename];
$piccy=$piccy.$alt;
)
