Check the source code of the resulting page and see if the value for
the <img> tag points to a location from where the image can be
retrieved. When you see the X the browser cannot download the image as
the file is not found in the specified location.
More likely in this case, something is causing the image data that gets
sent to the browser to be corrupted. Note that he's storing the image
in the database, and this very same script (with $_GET['gim'] set) is
outputting those data.
It's a perennial debate, but I'll go there: Storing image data in the
database is a bad idea. You already have a very robust database for
managing files: the filesystem. So before you bother debugging this
code more, you might want to consider changing your implementation.
Simply write a uniquely named file somewhere on disk, and store the
filename in the database. Then you can construct the relevant src
attributes on image tags, etc, or if you must, run the image data
through PHP using fpassthru() or similar.
Here are some things I'd look at, if I was debugging your code:
1) When calling the script with "gim" in the URL (telling it to send
the image), does any extra data get sent? Are there spaces before your
opening <?PHP tag, maybe? Maybe something else in the code is causing
warnings or notices to be issued? If any of that garbage makes it into
the output stream, you'll be ouputting a corrupt image.
2) When storing the image in the database, are you doing anything
that might corrupt it? Maybe try using mysql_real_escape_string()
instead of addslashes()
But as I said above, I've not even tried to do anything like this in
years, since I figured out that it just makes your database sad to deal
with lots of binary data. Really -- consider using the filesystem to
store the files, and the database to store the names of those files, and
you avoid all of this headache.
