Re: Store GIF in Blob and show GIF on page

[Breck Fresen]

The problem centers around setting the content type. I handle it as follows:

<img src="GetImage.php">

Below are the contents of GetImage.php
<?php
/* Your code to connect to the database, to retrieve the blob
and the content-type for that blob goes here. */

header("Content-Type: " . $row['ContentType']);
header("Content-Length: " . $row['FileSize']);

echo $row['Content'];
?>

Be careful of white space here. The browser will try to render the entire output from this file as the image, so if you have extra white space at the beginning or end of the file, the image won't display properly (you'll get a lot of confusing looking text).
