How to retrieve images from MySQL database and display in an html tag

Question

I created a MySQL database with a table using phpmyadmin. I created this table with a BLOB column to hold a jpeg file.

I have issues with regards to the php variabl

Answer 1

I have added slashes before inserting into database so on the time of fetching i removed slashes again stripslashes() and it works for me. I am sharing the code which works for me.

How i inserted into mysql db (blob type)

$db = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","dName"); 
$image = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['images']['tmp_name']));
$query = "INSERT INTO student_img (id,image) VALUES('','$image')";  
$query = mysqli_query($db, $query);

Now to access the image

$sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM student_img WHERE id = $stid";
$rs = $db->query($sqlQuery);
$result=mysqli_fetch_array($rs);
echo '';

Hope it will help someone

Thanks.
