reading pdf from DB table?

[fuzzy1]

Okay, I've got pdf's storing to a mysql table. Now, how do I link to and open (not download, but OPEN)
and view/read them from within our php crm app? and NO, I DON'T want them stored in the file system instead.
The save/upload sciprt is as follows: Please.

<?php
$fileUpload = $_FILES['fileUpload']['tmp_name'];
$fileUpload_name = $_FILES['fileUpload']['name'];
$fileUpload_size = $_FILES['fileUpload']['size'];
$fileUpload_type = $_FILES['fileUpload']['type'];

$fileHandle = fopen($fileUpload, "rb");
$fileContent = fread($fileHandle, $fileUpload_size);
$fileContent = addslashes($fileContent);

$dbQuery = "INSERT INTO pdfs VALUES (0, '$fileUpload_name', '$fileContent', '$fileUpload_type')";
mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Couldn't add file to database");

if(!mysql_query($dbQuery)) 
{ 
    print("Insert failed!"); 
} 
else
{ 
print('File Inserted');
}
?>

You should be able to simply echo the pdf contents after querying the database and after telling the browser to expect a pdf file

// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');

Geeezz! I HAD that -- sort of????

$dbQuery = "SELECT blobType, blobData FROM myBlobs WHERE blobId = '25' ";
$result = mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Couldn't get file list");
if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
{
$fileType = @mysql_result($result, 0, "blobType");
$fileContent = @mysql_result($result, 0, "blobData");
header("Content-type: $fileType");
//echo $fileContent;  // BEFORE

echo $fileType; // AFTER --- ???? This worked, but I don't see how.

}
else
{
echo "Record doesn't exist.";
}
