Displaying images from mysql database - php - php

Question

I am currently having problems with displaying image from mysql database. I am able to upload an image to mysql database, however if i want to retrieve it from the database, it is displayed in Gibberish text.
Here is upload.php
if (isset($_FILES['image']) && $_FILES['image']['size'] > 0) {
$filename = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli,$_FILES['image']['name']);
$tmpName = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
$data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$data = addslashes($data);
fclose($fp);
$query = "INSERT INTO `TABLES` (`image`)
VALUES( NULL,'$data')";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
}
View.php
$mysqlquery = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
$results = $mysqli->query($mysqlquery);
if($results->num_rows > 0){
while ($row = $results ->fetch_assoc()){
echo '<div align = "center">';
echo "<b>".$row["image"]. "<br></b>";
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
}
}

Answer 1

Try this and do not forget to give image path before source
echo "<img src='your image location directory/". $row['image'] .'" >";

Answer 2

Oooooh... I just wish I had the answer to this one...
Some thoughts, though.
First, from personal experience I urge against storing images in the database. For one thing, your database backups will quickly become ridiculous. A more common, and better, approach is to store the images in the file system and store only the location (e.g. /img/pic03.jpg ) of the image in the database.
Next, I see you are modifying the received binary data:
$tmpName = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
$data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$data = addslashes($data);
fclose($fp);
Perhaps you know something that I don't (it's not difficult), but generally, if you gerfingerpoke with binary image data you get ... um... gibberish. Try disabling those lines and see what happens.
