Hello!
I am making a search engine in my website. The code is taken from the book PHP and MYSQL Web Developing written by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson.
It's a very useful book.
The problem is that I don't know how to display the image that I have uploaded in my mysql table. The results.php file displays the image like a bunch of numbers and symbols...
I have uploaded the image in the mysql database and store it as longblob type.
Here is the code I use:
search.html:
results.php:
Can anyone help me to make the image display normally? Thanks very much.
