Display image from sql

Question

I\'ve create a table where I\'ve saved images through \"BLOB\". I need to show those images along with other items. But I don\'t know how to show those images together in the sa

Answer 1

As other people mentioned, storing the images in the database is usually a bad idea.

Images are not transmitted in the same HTTP response with another page data.

To show images from the database, you would need to implement a script which, given the item id, would read the field and send the image's binary data; and provide the path to the script in your form's :

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($display_query)){
    print "".$row['itemid']."".$row['description']."";
    print "₹".$row['cost']."";
    print "";

}

image.php is another script which outputs the value of image_blob given the eportal.id. You would also need to provide correct size and mime type in the headers.

You better just store the images in a file (accessible by the web server) and store the path fo the file in the database.
