thanks for your help ...but it display a blank page ...i dont know why...

here is image.php

<?php  

$host="localhost"; // Host name 
$username="root"; // Mysql username 
$password="1234"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="new"; // Database name 

// Connect to server and select database.
$con = mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
			
$query  = "SELECT * FROM upload "  ;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed ($query) - " . mysql_error());	
?>
				
<table width="1000" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="1000" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<strong>List of Case Procedure </strong> 
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="center" ><strong>id</strong></td>
<td align="center" ><strong>name</strong></td>
<td align="center"><strong>type</strong></td>

<td align="center" ><strong>Update</strong></td>
</tr>

<?php 
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
?>
<tr>

<td><?php echo $rows["id"]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows["name"];?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows["type"]; ?></td>

<td ><a href="view.php?id=<?php echo $rows['id']; ?>">Display</a></td>
</tr>

<?php
}
?>
<?php
mysql_close($con);
?>

this is view.php

<?php
$host="localhost"; // Host name 
$username="root"; // Mysql username 
$password="1234"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="new"; // Database name 
//$tbl_name="action"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// get value of id that sent from address bar

$id =$_GET['id'];

$query  = "SELECT type, content FROM upload WHERE id= $id";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed ($query) - " . mysql_error());		
$imagecontent = $row[content];
header("Content-type: .$row[type].");
print $imagecontent ;

mysql_close();
?>

in the above code where is the $row defined.
i think it is missing.Please check.
and print mysql_num_rows($result); , whether it is returning rows or not.
and also check your insert query once.

[trueedmar]

post if you still need help i've just worked out how to do this myself

$type=$row['type'];s
	header("Content-type: .$type.");

to this:

$type=$row['type'];
header("Content-type: $type");

??

You could also print out your query to see if it is retrieving what you think it should.

http://www.anyexample.com/programming/php/php_mysql_example__image_gallery_(blob_storage).xml this the source and I will try to explain as best as i can.

so in your database table as its pretty similar you just need to alter the fields.

`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(64) character SET utf8 NOT NULL,
  `ext` varchar(8) character SET utf8 NOT NULL,
  `image_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `data` mediumblob NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)

next bite is easy just copy this php above code any html.

<?php
$db_host = 'localhost'; // don't forget to change 
$db_user = 'mysql-user'; 
$db_pwd = 'mysql-password';

$database = 'test';
$table = 'ae_gallery';
// use the same name as SQL table

$password = '123';
// simple upload restriction,
// to disallow uploading to everyone


if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
    die("Can't connect to database");

if (!mysql_select_db($database))
    die("Can't select database");

// This function makes usage of
// $_GET, $_POST, etc... variables
// completly safe in SQL queries
function sql_safe($s)
{
    if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
        $s = stripslashes($s);

    return mysql_real_escape_string($s);
}

// If user pressed submit in one of the forms
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
    // cleaning title field
    $title = trim(sql_safe($_POST['title']));

    if ($title == '') // if title is not set
        $title = '(empty title)';// use (empty title) string

    if ($_POST['password'] != $password)  // cheking passwors
        $msg = 'Error: wrong upload password';
    else
    {
        if (isset($_FILES['photo']))
        {
            @list(, , $imtype, ) = getimagesize($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name']);
            // Get image type.
            // We use @ to omit errors

            if ($imtype == 3) // cheking image type
                $ext="png";   // to use it later in HTTP headers
            elseif ($imtype == 2)
                $ext="jpeg";
            elseif ($imtype == 1)
                $ext="gif";
            else

change this code to fit your database.

next code just make it fit your website.
