Hello, 
        Thanks for your responses; however, I do not think I have the gd
libraries installed because ImageCreateFromString() was not found.  I will
install it. 

        I have a question: I can display the PNG or GIF image using the
browser.  So Why do I need the GD library?  Since I store the mime type in
the database I think that a call to header() to tell the browser what type
of mime-type is coming from the database should sufice.  Also, I want to
store any type of binary data into my database (PNG, GIF, word, JPG, etc) Am
I missing something?  

Thanks, 
-Teresa

You need to insert the following lines after this line:
Header("Content-type: image/gif");

$im = ImageCreateFromString ($fileContent); 
ImageGif ($im); 

and then remove this line: echo $fileContent;
That should do it.
