Re: How can I display images from a mySQL Database in a web page?

[Partap Davis]

I think there is a way to insert binary image data in your html, but is
there any particular reason you need to do that?

First you would need to encode it in some ascii equivalent (check w3c.org, I
think) ...and it would increase the size of your html page while rendering
the browser's image cache useless...

This will both increase the page's load time and your server's bandwidth
requirements, as well as possibly being a pita to implement :-/

I would suggest you store the image filenames in the table, and paste that
into your html...
