Showing images from db

[phillip_s]

Hi,

I've managed to create a class, which consists of two functions until now; one for uploading and one for showing. When uploading I store the original filename, size of the file, the file itself in a mediumblob and the mime type, e.g. image/pjpeg.

Well, I can show any image. But as I need to show the image by sending a header("Content-type..."), I can only show the image if I haven't sent something else, e.g. tables, text, anything...

Anybody have an idea on how I can retrieve the image and show it anywhere on a page containing anything?

create a image.php file
and when you need to display an image

do this :

<img src="image.php?param=what you need to retrieve the image of the DB">

that way you can put your headers in image.php

Yup, that helped - it was exactly what I needed.

Thanks 🙂
