Imagemagick Displaying Images

I have an application that shows thumnails of PDF files in different directories. I have so far decided that I can use "convert" from imagemagick to get a .jpg, .png, .gif, etc. to display as the image. The problem I'm running into is that I don't want to save these thumbnails. Instead I just want to take the binary data and display an image with it. I figure that it's possible since you can store binary data in a database and display it that way. an example of what I'm doing is: convert -resize 800x600 AR-M455N_20060420_130446.pdf[0] - The '-' makes it display the contents of the image to stdout. I want to caputre that binary data and somehow display the images inline with the website. Is this possible, or am I living in a dream world ;) Thanks, -- Ray Hauge Programmer/Systems Administrator American Student Loan Services www.americanstudentloan.com 1.800.575.1099
