With thanks to you who have helped me, I have constructed a PHP script that allows the client to upload an image (jpg or gif) that is stored in a MySQL Blob field.
And I have a PHP script that will pull the binary data out of the MySQL database and display the upload image for the client. THE PROBLEM: HALF MY GIF AND JPG FILES DO NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY WHEN VIEWING THE DISPLAY.PHP SCRIPT (see below). Half display fine, half do not. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I can do to remedy it? Thank you.
