I have 2 files:
include_display.php << contains the connection to the database, get the blobData and the blobType. Uses variable blobType to change the header.
$dbQuery = "SELECT blobType, blobData ";
$dbQuery .= "FROM testBlobs ";
$dbQuery .= “WHERE blobId = $blobId”;
$result = mysql_query($dbQuery) or die(“Couldn’t get file list”);
$data = @mysql_fetch_array($result);
if(!empty($data[“blobData”]))
{
// Output the MIME header
header(“Content-Type: $blobType”);
}
else
{
echo “Record doesn’t exist.”;
}
and then I have display.php << its supposed to display the image
but instead of the image, i get bunches of letters, numbers, and symbols. of course, this means the header hasnt been changed.
echo $data[“blobData”];
what am i doing wrong?
