Re: [PHP] image retrival from db?

You need to set the content type.  eg: echo Content-type: image/gif; echo
$row[image];

Subject: [PHP] image retrival from db?


 Anyone have a pointer to a script or documentation on how to retrieve an
 image that is stored in a database?
 
 I can insert the image, but unable to display the image once retieved, i
 apparently am missing something.
 
 
 Thanks

I meant to say Header(Content-type: image/gif);

I thought this one was quite good to get you up to speed:

http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/florian19991014.php3

Thing is, although very technically nice, it isnt really very practical,
as your database increases in size rapidly, and data retrival takes
longer and longer. I would recommend you still do stuff like thumbnail
generation on the upload and then store the paths to the file in the
database.
