Displaying images from a database

[Hanlie]

Hi,

I want todisplay an image that's defined as a blob from a mysql database on a web page.

When I use a simple echo statement, I see binary code.

When I use the echo statement in the src attribute of the image tag, I see a broken picture icon (red cross on a white page).

Any ideas on how I can get the browser to display the picture?

Thanks

Hi Hanlie

Don't put images in the DB. Put the path to the image in the DB and you'll have far fewer problems. That's my advice.

yes, that's what i have done.

i.e. insert <img src="img01.jpg"> into the database and echo that.
