Blob Images

[saraca]

I'm new to programming and also Coldfusion. Would someone be kind to show me the code to display Blob Images. I'm getting an error "ByteArray objects cannot be converted to strings". The code that I have is as follow:

<cfquery name="getImg" datasource="#Application.dsname#">
Select id, d_busdate,d_refno,imgData from #Session.db# where id='#Session.id#'

</cfquery>

<cfif #getImg.recordCount# gt 0>
<cfoutput><img src="#toBinary(getImg.imgData)#" width="650" height="300" border="1"></img></cfoutput>

There are two custom tags out there to help with this cfx_putimage and cfx_getimage. Do a google search for these.

But the way they would work: Create a ColdFusion page called "showImage.cfm" and pass it paramaters to uniquely identify an image. The CF page then sets the content type to, for example, "image/gif", then return the binary data.

<\img src="ShowImage.cfm?ImageID=3456">
