displaying blob data

[kay]

hi there! i stored an image as blob in mysql database, i used echo to display the image only and it worked well. however, when i echo a string just below the image, the string doesnt show (just the image). When i echo a string right above the image, the string shows but the image is displayed as garbage.

below is a snippet of the code:

$fileContent = @mysql_result($result, 0, "blobData");

echo $fileContent;
echo "This is my picture";

the echo "This is my picture" doesnt show but the image does, when i interchange the 2 echos, the string shows but the image is displayed as garbage. when i display them individually, it works well...please help..

thanks a lot!!!

You cannot mix and match data types. You can either have an image or text. You'll have to save the image data to a file and then use <img> above the text.
