Unable to display images on browser

Hello, I do not understand why I can't display images retrieved from MySQL on my browser(IE 4.0). When I retrieve the image from MYSQL I set the Header function to change the type of content(image/gif) I am sending to the browser. However, the browser displays an box with an X in it. I would greatly appretiate any ideas/help. Here is the piece of code: Thanks in advance! -Teresa <? ------------ Code to connect and selected DB not included --------------------- $dbQuery = "Select PicNum, size, type, description, Image"; $dbQuery .= " FROM Images WHERE PicNum = $fileId"; $result = mysql_query($dbQuery) or die ("Could not get file list: " . mysql_error() ); echo "Sent Query successfully<br>"; if ( mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) { $fileType = @mysql_result($result,0, "type"); $fileContent = @mysql_result($result, 0, "Image"); $filedesc = @mysql_result($result,0, "description"); $filenum = @mysql_result($result,0, "PicNum"); // Header("Content-type: $fileType"); Header("Content-type: image/gif"); echo $fileContent; } else { echo "Record does not exist"; } // else ?>
