image from database displays funny characters on webpage

[jayjaz]

Hello everyone, I am a newbie, I have just managed to store images in my database So far I have been able to retrie other information from the table but the image field(data) keeps displaying funny characters on my website instead of the actual image. Please help me as I have a deadline for this.

Thank you

here is a sample code of how I tried to retrieve the images' row

<?php


$img = mysql_query("SELECT id, data, title from {$table}");

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($img) )
{
echo("Image: ".$row["id"]."<br>");
echo(" - display image: ".$row["data"]."<br>");
}
?>

I am trying to call the images from the database from the table 'admin', field for stored images is called 'data'

the titles, ids are diplaying fine, just the images i am having problems with.

From the table, read the image data and save it to a file. Open the saved file using a browser or some image viewing client. If you cannot do this then your image data is corrupted.
