How do I display a jpg from a longblob?

[Phrank]

I have a mysql database with several records. Each record has a longblob field with a different .jpg file in it. Pictures of semi's Not a file name but the actual jpg image.

If I display this image on a new web page by itself it works great.

When I add anything else to the page, such as a record ID, the image will not display but the letters and numbers and special symbols, etc.

How do I display an image from a longblob along with other info on the page?

I have tried adding

header('Content-type: image/jpeg');

before echo'ing the image to no avail.

Will it work if I store the image in a directory on the server and just pull it in when I need it? IE. store the image file name in the database instead of the image? I would prefer to keep the image in the db for housekeeping purposes.

Your problem is this part:

....along with other info on the page?

If you're sending an HTML page, you're sending an HTML page; if you're sending a JPEG image you're sending a JPEG image. Mixing the two is not gonna work. In your page you're going to have an <img> tag with a src= attribute that contains the URL of the script that gets the JPEG from the database and echos it out.
