What's "dbn"? Never mind. You have a db.

For terminology's sake - you don't place anything "into a function".
You call
a function with certain parameters.

Why would you need "width='$width' height='$height'" at all, if $width
and $height
are image dimensions. You only do that when you need to display it
resized. Anyway,
it's a bad (and deprecated) practice to use HTML tags to define
element's style, e.g.
image size. Use CSS rules instead.

So, ... what's the problem? I haven't seen any questions here. "I can
get
this to work... ...how can I do this." (with a full stop at the end of
interrogative).

Are you trying to resize the image from PHP, instead of defining its
dimensions in HTML?
Please try following the general rules of punctuation and being clear
about what you want
to be helped with.
