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?
