Displaying uploads on events page

We are developing a website for an organization that hosts concert events. On their "events" page they want a small picture for each event along with the title, date and time of the event.

I have no problem just listing the events, but I'm having a heck of a time getting the event's image to display with its specific listing. I'm still pretty new to PHP, but I always kept the image associated with the record in the same table as the records. With CMS builder it sends all uploaded images to a different table (cms_uploads) and I'm unfamiliar with how to work with that.

We have it set up so the visitor can choose a month and see which events are listed for that month. Here is the code for April.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cms_events WHERE evt_mo = 04 ORDER BY evt_day ASC");
$img = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$pic = $img['num'];

$image = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cms_uploads WHERE tableName = 'events' AND recordNum = '".$pic."'");

$nextRow=1;
echo "<tr>";
while(($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) && ($pho = mysql_fetch_array($image)))
{
echo "<td class='events2'>" . "<a href='" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?id=" .$row['num'] . "&mode=eventpage'>";
echo "<img src='" . $pho['urlPath'] . "' border='0' width='100' /></a>" . "<br /><br />";
echo "<a href='" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?id=" .$row['num'] . "&mode=eventpage'>" . "<strong>" . $row['title'] . "</strong></a>" . "<br />" . $row['evt_mo'] . "/" . $row['evt_day'] . "/" . $row['evt_yr'] . "<br />" . $row['evt_time'];
echo "</td>";

Am I on the right track? I don't know if I'm even close to doing this right. Any help would be fantastic. Thank you!

Hey thank you for taking the time to help. Still can't figure this out! Here's my code:

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php

require_once "/home2/pittbull/public_html/warmemorial/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($eventsRecords, $eventsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'events',
));

?>

Hi jab788,

It looks right to me. And that's not displaying the images?

Let me know what's happening and I'll try to help.
