Check out http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/florian19991014.php3. It
deals with MySQL, but the concepts should be the same... it sounds like
there are some steps about handling the binary data in a binary-safe
fashion that are getting left out.
Good luck,
Ben

Subject: [PHP-DB] Hello
Hello
I have an ibm db2 which has jpg images stored as blob fields (about 2M).
I
seem to have a hard time getting them with PHP and presenting them
properly
in the browser. (When I try to save it from the DB2 side, it is stored
ok).
Though i actually get the image i ask for, when i try to output it to
the
browser i get a series of characters from 0 to F instead (Hex) like
this:
FFD8FFFE000857414E473202FFE000104A46494600010101025802580000FFDB0
Saving it to a file with has no result either. The file seems to be
created,
it has the appropriate size but trying to view is contents results in
getting an unsupported type of image which the browser fails to present.
Using the different types of the odbc_binmode function of PHP
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-binmode.php), returns the
same
results. I try odbc_longreadlen since i get a blob field but the output
is
similar to the previous.
I also asked in a DB2 newsgroup
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=el&safe=off&ic=1&th=17ccf5cbc4d0762c,
4&se
ekm=5261b6a0.0107090324.6ab27060%40.
Thats why we added a field containing a JPEG format of the image but it
doesnt seem to work either.
Thanks in advance.
