How to link an image map with a database?

Hi Benjamin,

First store image in table, define column as long blob type then upload your image, open it  read the contents from mysql escape all the special characters

mysql_escap_string() after then insert in the table

whenever you want to see your image write your PHP page which can perform so then reference it in your image like

<img src="myimage server.php?imageid=5324">

myimageserver.php will headers output which is followed by contents of longblob column in table for example

header("Content-Type: image/jpegn");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
echo $row['imageblob'];
