I create a component in my joomla website. the component shows some photos (not big, only 8KB). the photos are stored in mysql blob. i can upload the photos to the joomla database but i cannot display it on the website. whatever i do it only show some encoding character or blank. I tried to create a separate page but but the result is same. Here is what i have done : mycomp is my joomla component.
admin.mycomp.php
<?php
function showDetail($option)
{
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();
$id = mysql_real_escape_string(JRequest::getVar('id'));
$query = "select id,myphoto from jos_myphotos where id = ".$id;
$db->setQuery($query);
$rows = $db->loadObjectList();
HTML_myphoto::showPhoto($rows,$option);
}
?>
admin.mycomp.html.php
<?php
class HTML_myphoto
{
...
function showPhoto($row,$option)
{
...
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
echo $row->myphoto; //this will show some encoding character
echo base64_decode($row->myphoto); //this will show blank page
//change echo with print get the same result.
...
}
...
}
I tried to create a separate page like this : admin.mycomp.html.php
<?php
class HTML_myphoto
{
...
function showPhoto($row,$option)
{
...
?>
<img src="show_image.php?myphoto=<?php echo $row->myphoto;?>" width=200 height=300>
<?php
...
}
...
}
show_image.php
<?php
$myphoto = (isset($_GET['myphoto'])) $_GET['myphoto'] : false;
if($myphoto)
{
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
echo $myphoto; //this will show some encoding character
echo base64_decode($myphoto); //this will show blank page
//change echo with print get the same result.
}
?>
the result is same.
