[thelist] Extracting pictures from a database

[Burhan Khalid]

If you are trying to get the image from the database (and not the link),
then it depends on how it was stored in your database (and also what
kind of database you are using). Try looking into BLOB(s) and if your
database supports them. I would guess that this would be where image
data would be stored.

As far as getting the dimentions etc. of an image. You have two options
here. You can either store them in the database, or you can
pragmatically figure them out (PHP, ASP, etc.)

Hth,
