Querying image from MySQL server results in corrupt file - php

Question

I am running into an issue when querying an Image that is stored as a longblob from a MySQL. I understand that this is not an optimal way to do this, but it is a requirement for the project I am working on.
The server that is running on my local machine is running and querying the data properly, but the live server doesn't return the images properly (the browser believes that the file is corrupted). The code is the same on both devices. The returned longblob from the server has the same sum as the files that was created on the local environment (both files have the same data in theory).
Are there any settings that could be enabled that would cause this to fail on a live server vs a local environment?
Simplified code for creating the image in the database
$productImage = "images/" . time() . $productImageImage["name"];
move_uploaded_file($productImageImage["tmp_name"] , $productImage);
$productImageImage = file_get_contents($productImage);
$query = $connection->prepare("INSERT INTO product (productImage) VALUES (?)");
$query->bind_param("s", $ProductImageImage);
$result = $query->execute();
Code for displaying the file
<?php
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
include 'include/db_connection.php';
function getId(){
if(isset($_GET['id']))
$selected = $_GET['id'];
return $selected;
}
function alt_getImage($connection){
$s = getId();
$query = $connection->prepare("SELECT productImage FROM product WHERE productId = ?");
$query->bind_param("i", $s);
$query->execute();
$result = $query->get_result();
return $result;
}
function createImage($connection, $id){
if ($id != null){
$result = alt_getImage($connection);
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
echo $row["productImage"];
$connection->close();
}
}
$id = $_GET['id'];
$connection = createConnection();
createImage($connection, $id);
?>
