How to display an image from a mysql database? - php

Question

This is the structure of my mysql table crij_personne :
id
photo longblob
image_name varchar(64)
My html code is the following:
<input type="file" name="photo" />
The code for uploading the image to my database:
$imagetmp=addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['photo'] ['tmp_name']));
$image_name = addslashes($_FILES['photo']['image_name']);
$imagetmp= base64_encode($imagetmp);
$sql = "INSERT INTO crij_personne (description, photo, image_name) VALUES ('".$_POST['description']."','$imagetmp',' $image_name');";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}
The code for displaying the image on a web page is:
echo '<img height="300" width="300" src="data:image;base64, '.$row['photo'].'">';
But nothing is happening... I'm doing something wrong, obviously.
Thanks for the help.

Try this one.
For insertion values into the database.
$image_name = addslashes($_FILES['photo']['image_name']);
$sql = "INSERT INTO crij_personne (description, photo, image_name) VALUES ('".$_POST['description']."','$imagetmp',' $image_name');";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) echo "New record created successfully";
else echo "Error: " . mysqli_error($conn);
For retrieval of image from Database
$connectDb = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","password","DatabaesName"); //You need to replace with your own credentials
$query= "SELECT * FROM crij_personne WHERE id = $id";
$sth = $connectDb ->query($query);
$mysqli_fetch_array=mysqli_fetch_array($sth);
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
echo '<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'.base64_encode( $mysqli_fetch_array['image_name'] ).'"/>';
And then retrieve, I hope you will get the correct output.
