I can display the image now from the database, however, I had to
create another scriptfile and requery the database from within that
file. Is there a way to pass the image as a parameter to the
hello.php scriptfile or the row[3] parameter so that I don't have to
requery or reopen the table?
PHI Interbase or Firebird database
