File name of Blob

[PierreL]

Good Day

I store my images as a blob. I dont have a problem out putting it to the browser, that works just fine. But when i display the image and you right click on the image to choose save as then i gives the php file as file name and the extension php. I want to specify a name, it can be the same name for all the images and jpg as the file extension. Below is the code i use to output the image to a request.

<?php

$id    = getRequestVariable("id");

$query = "select * from photos where id='$id'";

  $result = mysql_query($query); 
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
   {	   

	header("Content-type: image/jpg");
	echo $row[8];


   }
?>

This is how i request the image

<img src='viewLargePhoto.php?id=<? print "$id"; ?>' border='1'>

Thanks in advance

Well, for decent browsers such as Firefox, you can add another header like so:

header ('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="name_here.jpg"');

IE, however, still barfed and asked me to save it was "untitled.bmp".
