Problems with displaying an image

[Joker]

I found in the internet the following web page

http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-sept-2001.php

There is the description of the method of adding a graphical file into a
database. When I try to display the added image from database I receive

instead of a picture. Is there any bug in the presented code or do I have to
configure anything in my php?

I'm rather sure that you've forgotten to send the Content-Type header
before the data itself. The header tells browser which kind of data can
be expected.

Header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

If the header is sent and the data is still incorrect, the content-type
header might be invalid.

Re: Problems with displaying an image

your html has to contain some line like that
<img src="YOUR_SCRIP T_THAT_GEGERATE S_THE_IMAGE.php ">

and your php script that generates the image must sent the right
header, i.e.

header("Content-type: image/IMAGE_TYPE"); and that before any other
output
