Problem displaying blob stored in interbase

rsilvs

Hi,

 Anybody who could help me how to display a blob stored in interbase??? I tried the example in php.net but it didn't work. The output pic appears to be corrupted.  The example provided by php.net goes like this...

$S = "select emp_no,hire_date,salary,pic,full_name";
$S .= " from employee m join user_permissions p ";
$S .= " on p.dept_no = m.dept_no ";
$S .= " where p.user_name = ? ";
$S .= " and m.emp_no = ?";

$Q = ibase_query($S,$USER_NAME,$EMPNO);
while ($R = ibase_fetch_object($Q))
{

 $TEMPFILE = tempnam("temp","TMP");
 $TEMPFILE .= ".jpg";

 $BLOBID = ibase_blob_open($R->PIC);
 $FILEID = fopen($TEMPFILE,"w");


 while ($PIC = ibase_blob_get($BLOBID,10240))
 {
    fputs($FILEID,$PIC);    
 }
 fclose($FILEID);
 ibase_blob_close($BLOBID);
 $TEMPFILE = "/php3/" . $TEMPFILE;
 echo "<BR><BR><CENTER><IMG SRC=$TEMPFILE >

}

ibase_free_result($Q);
ibase_commit();

Am using php4.2.1 and firebird 1.0...
Can anyone help me about this???

thanx...
