How to display .png file from MySql in php?

[tanyali]

my .png files r stored as a blob in MySql,
I wanna to display them out in php through a web browser.

this is part of code (in php):

---after connect to database ,

$dbQuery=" select name, png1, png2  from png";
 
$result=mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Could not get file list");
// to display
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<tr>
..............
<td><?php echo $row["phg1"]; ?></td>
...........
</tr>
}

[Please use CODE tags when posting source code. Thanks! --pbmods]

sure,,, it does not work, and I tried this way :

firstly , download .png files out from mysql to a local directory,
then display it using :

------------------------------------------------------

$imagepath="/home/......1.png";
 
$image=imagecreatefromjpeg($imagepath);
 
header('Content-Type: image/png');
 
imagejpeg($image);                                                                                

-------------------------------------------------------

this does not work either.

anyone has good ideas about it ? please help . Thanks a million.

Hi,
Not very sure. I have never stored an image in a database. Always stored them on the local directory. Anyways, try doin this...

Once you finish querying your db,

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$image = $row['png'];
}
 
<img src="<?php echo $image;?>">

Hi

Ok, tell me onething. When you are ready to download the file from your database onto your server directory and then try all the jinx, why not store the file directly onto your server directory at the very first place??

Because my boss thought it was better to store pictures in database as a blob,
so I do the following......... but at last, we decided to store them in file system, which is quicker to display.
Yes , you are right.
anyway , thanks for answering.
