The usual way to insert images in web sites is to use the <img> tag and
write the picture's URL in the src attribute. E.g.:

<img src="picture.jpg">

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTML/Element/Img

While you can actually paste the full picture into your HTML document,
it's not as simple as that: you'd have to add a prefix, escape the image
properly and wait for IE users to complain:

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data:_URL

I guess you want to use the traditional approach. You have to write two
different scripts: one that generates the HTML and one that generates
the picture.

First you need a script like this:
send_picture.php

<?php
open_database(); // some routine to open your picture database..
$id=$_GET['id'];
$query="select picture, picture_filename, picture_size from product
where id='".$id."'";
//echo $query;
$result=mysql_query($query);
if(($result>0) && (($rows=mysql_numrows($result)) == 1)) //got some data
{
$name=mysql_result($result,0,'picture_filename');
$content=mysql_result($result,0,'picture');
$size=mysql_result($result,0,'picture_size');
}
else die();
if ($name="") die();
$mtype=get_mime($name); // if you KNOW what type the picture is, you
dont need this
header("Content-Type: ".$mtype);
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"".$name."\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($content));
print $content;

// looks up mime type in /etc/mime.types and returns the type, or a
default if unmatched
// makes no attempt to interrogate the file content as such.
// THIS NEEDS MORE WORK!!! it doesn't get all types..espcially DWG/DXF!!
// Mind you we don't want to inmvoke plug-ins for these..
function get_mime($filename)
{
$default="application/force-download";
// first extract the extension
$array=explode(".",$filename); // split the name into the bits
separated by periods
$count=count($array);
if ($count<2) // if there IS NO extension..
return $default; // and let the user sort it out.
$ext=$array[$count-1]; // it will be the last element in the array..
$fp=fopen("/etc/mime.types", "r");
if(!$fp) return ($default); // no /etc/mime.types file
while (!feof($fp))
{ $buffer = fgets($fp, 128);
if (ctype_space($buffer{0}) || $buffer{0}=='#' || $buffer{0}=='\n')
continue; // skip empty lines. or lines starting with spaces
or hashes sscanf($buffer, "%s %s %s %s %s %s
\n",$mime_type,$extension, $extension1, $extension2, $extension3,
$extension4);
if ($ext==$extension || $ext==$extension1 || $ext==$extension2 ||
$ext==$extension3 || $ext==$extension4 )
{
fclose ($fp);
return($mime_type);
}
}
fclose($fp);
return $default;
}
?>

Then in your main php script

printf("<IMG src=\"send_picture.php?id=%d\" >",$id);

where id is the picture id in the database.

The <img ...> tag requires a resource (typically a file). It looks like
you're trying to send the image itself, which doesn't work.

It's really not had to send an image from a database. Basically you
need code similar to (example code for clarity - no error handling and
untested):

file: showimage.php
<?php
$imageId = intval($_GET['image']));
$link = mysql_connect('server', 'userid', 'password');
$result = mysql_select_db('database');
$result = mysql_query("SELECT image FROM imgtbl WHERE id=$imageId");
$img = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
header('Content-length: ' . strlen($result['image']));
echo $result('image');
mysql_close($link);
}

You would use this with something like:

<img src="showimg.php?image=5">

In this example the image id is assumed to be an integer. Strings work
also with appropriate changes to the code.

Also the image is assumed to be a jpeg; if you have something else, you
need to change the Content-type line to the appropriate type (i.e.
image/png, etc.).

The Content-length line isn't strictly required, but it will help some
Apache installations to optimize sending the image. It's nice to have.

Hope this helps.

You are trying to output the raw image data as a string (JFIF means "JPEG
File Interchange Format" [1]). This cannot work (at least not this way);
the `src' attribute value must be a URI [2].

> ...
> plz suggest me

There are several alternatives. For example:

A) Write and access a temporary file

<?php
$img_data = db_query(…);
if ($img_data)
{
/*
* Use the _correct_ filename suffix here; the server
* should take care of the proper Content-Type for that suffix
*/
file_put_contents("{$tmp}/foo.jpg", $img_data); // [3]
}
?>

<img src="tmp/foo.jpg" alt="…" …>

B)

<?php
/* foo.php */

$img_data = db_query(…);

if ($img_data)
{
/* declare the _correct_ type here */
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); // [4]

echo $img_data;
}
?>

bar.html:

<img src="foo.php" alt="…" …>

C)

<?php
$img_data = db_query(…);
if ($img_data)
{
?>
<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,<?php
echo base64_encode($imgdata); // [5]
?>"
alt="…" …>
<?php
}
?>

A) and B) are more compatible than C) [6].

A) works well for images that do not change often and need to be retrieved
fast in short intervals (such as in an e-commerce shop); you only have to
write the file once, after which accesses are cached by the Web server's
filesystem, the server's HTTP server service/daemon and the browser's HTTP
client. There are no limits on the size of the file other than imposed by
the server filesystem.

B) is more flexible than A) and requires no additional server filesystem
resources, but is overall slower than A) even though it can be cached by the
browser. I am presently not aware of any limits to image file size.

C) requires fewer server filesystem resources than A) but it might not be
cacheable and it requires more computational effort on the server and
client-side instead. It is limited by the maximum URI length accepted by a
Web browser (2083 characters by Internet Explorer up to and including
version 9.x, at the time of writing [7]); in particular, base64 encoding
makes the encoded string about one third longer than the original. (By
contrast, URI percent-encoding can make the encoded string three times as
long as the original.)

Use A) or B) unless there is a compelling reason to use C).

I also recommend not to store image data or other BLOBs in the database
unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. Store the filename in
the database instead, and store the image data as a file in the filesystem;
that way, it is also easier to implement A).

There are times when it is necessary to use something like C) ... for
example, to display on-the-fly generated captcha images. But these
wouldn't be stored in a DB, anyway.

If storing the JPEG data in a database is necessary, it could be saved
in base64 format in the first place ... this would save the extra
"computational effort" required on the server side, i.e. the PHP
function call to base64_encode(). The client browser, however, would
still need to parse the base64 data in order to display it.

Storing the link, or path to the file, is definitely the way to go for
images that don't change very often.

That is appropriate if you do not have to support IE 7 [^6]. Unfortunately,
we have to.


Please trim your quotes to the relevant minimum next time, and use a proper

Storing a JPEG in base64 is the WORST THING you can do. There is no
need to call base4encode() to disp;lay the image - and, in fact, will
result in a broken image.
