Hey all. I need to output an image via an .aspx page and hope someone
here can help.
I would like to display an image like this:
<img src="displayIma ge.aspx?categor yID=1">
The .aspx page will grab a random URL from the database based on the
category id.
I would like the script to load the URL and download the image, and
then have the output be of content type image/gif.
Is there a simple way to do this? I'm not sure if I can use the
XMLHTTP object due to firewall settings on our server, but I'm not 100%
sure on this.
thanks.

This is one for google, as theres a ton of example already out there to help
you.
Two to get you started........ http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/012203-1.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ImageBinaryStream.asp
Between those two you should find everything you require to create your own
solution.

Close except my database table will hold the external url of an image
that lives on other servers, so the data type will be a varchar, not
binary.
In your first link there's this:
-System.Drawing. Image.FromFile( Server.MapPath( imageUrl))
which loads the image from the server. i don't think this would work
for me.
thanks.

Excuse my confusion, but I'm not sure what your problem actually is then, if
the image is simply a URL held in the database why cant you just bind it to
the image src?

Understandable for the confusion.
What I'm doing is displaying a random ad (url and image) in an HTML
E-mail template. Unfortunately I cannot run a server script to query
the database and output the HTML block that easily. I believe
outputting an actual image would do the trick in this case.

I want to generate a web page using PHP, and in the middle generate a

In an attempt to try out some things with php, I have run into a new snag.
The output file is pure text.
Basically it's a simple photo gallery using <ul> links to show various
thumbnails.
In turn, the thumbnails show a bigger image.
All on the same page.
My only possible thinking is that it has something to do with the array
notation.
$image =array ( );
$image="name.jpg";
