RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: getting an image from a database

Oops. It looks like it has to be "inline". See this comment on PHP.net: dpiper@stens.com 23-May-2002 05:34 For inline images (JPEG for example): header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=file.jpg); For attachments (Adobe PDF for example): header('Content-Type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.pdf); NOTE: In Internet Explorer, the Content-Disposition header is important, otherwise it will be inline. 'Content-Disposition: attachment' will ALWAYS make IE download it. NOTE: In Netscape, if you want to force it to be a download (i.e. not inline), use header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'). Netscape doesn't appear to care about the Content-Disposition header apart from when it's in an email message, then the header controls behaviour as expected. It's best to be specific about the file you're sending. Don't rely on the interpretation of the browsers in the face of missing or default headers. Content-Length is good to set for downloads, since it will allow the browser to show a progress meter. It has to be accurate otherwise the browser will stall in downloading. -----Original Message----- From: Dash McElroy [mailto:Dash@westonefcu.org] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 1:41 PM To: PHP Windows Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: getting an image from a database I think that IE chokes when you don't give it more header information. You may have to give it a Content-Disposition: "filename.png" as well in the header command. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Good luck. -Dash p.s. stupid IE -----Original Message----- From: Scott Carr [mailto:scarr@progbits.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 1:39 PM To: PHP Windows Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Re: getting an image from a database Sorry, I read it, just didn't register before I wrote the email. ;-) In that case, just use Mozilla or Opera. ;-) jk... Joking aside: What version of IE? Can you send an image file directly from your file system to IE and have the image rendered properly? I.E. Have an image file on the c drive, and use readfile to pass the file to the system. -- Scott Carr OpenOffice.org Documentation Maintainer http://documentation.openoffice.org/ Quoting David Elliott <list@elliott.uk.com>: > Hi Scott > > On 30 July 2002 at 15:10:50 -0500 (which was 21:10 where I live) Scott Carr > emanated these words of wisdom > > > What field type are you using to store the image? > > DataType of image (on MSSQL 2000).
