That's because your browser doesn't know the data is an image. Before you
send the image to the browser you have to use the header() function to send
the browser the proper mime type for the image. I don't know the mime type
off-hand, but there's probably a tutorial on zend.com or phpbuilder.com that
discusses saving images in a MySQL DB and pulling them out to display on a
webpage using PHP so find one of those articles and look near the end.
