I believe you need to use the toString() function.

Hi,

I need to store images in my database. so, I use the toBase64 function an
s
it works great !
But to 'recover' the original file, i have a little problem :

    I wrote a little piece of code :

    <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
    <cfcontent type="image/jpeg">
    <cfquery datasource="test" name="query">SELECT bla bla</cfquery>
    <cfoutput>#toBinary(query.Base64Image)#</cfoutput>

But i get an error : "Expression result cannot be converted to a string",
 I
see why but i don't know how else to do that, and in the help of the
ToBinary function (cfstudio 4.5) They explain : "If you receive data in
Base64, you can re-create the actual binary object that it represents, su
ch
as a .gif, .jpeg, or executable file, by using the ToBinary function" but
they don't explain how !

So... can anybody help me ?

Thanks a lot and excuse for the (not so ?) bad english

J�r�me
