If I understand you right, then what you want is just impossible. You have to give a source as filepath. You can't put the binary picture data into the same output. What you could is to have a file which calls itself with params telling it to output now the image instead of the html e.g. example.php which produces without given parameters html like <HTML><IMG SRC="example.php?showimage=true"></HTML> You can then check in the example.php file if $showimage is set. if it is set then you call a function to send correct header and binary data and die afterwards (better: exit ;-) But due hold it more simple I would hardly suggest you to have image-output functions in a separate file. You can still use that file for all images in your database
If I misunderstood you and you just want a sample code for outputting picture-data then look at this: <?php #make sure that above this line nothing is printed to the browser require("your_mysql_access_routines.php"); header("content-type: image/jpg"); #replace jpg with gif or png or whatever you want $result = mysql_query("SELECT imageBinaryField FROM imagesTable WHERE id='$id'); #you can give $id as parameter to the file $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo $row['imageBinaryField']; #don't print anything below this to the browser ?> I hope I could help you Stefan Rusterholz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- interaktion gmbh Stefan Rusterholz Zürichbergstrasse 17 8032 Zürich ---------------------------------- T. +41 1 253 19 55 F. +41 1 253 19 56 W3 www.interaktion.ch ---------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodrigo Peres" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:32 PM Subject: [PHP] Mysql and Images > His list, > > I have some images stores in a mysql database and now i need to recover them > to put in a html.
