PHP header (& ldquo; Content-Type: image / jpeg & rdquo;); returns a broken image advertisements

Im fetching an blob image from my database, but it returns broken.

If i remove header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

it returns the file extension at it should be since its a PNG file

‰PNG  IHDR\r¨fÆÉIDAT

Any ideas whats the problem ? And yes. i tried the header("Content-Type: image/png");also

I have tried with ob_start and ob_end_flush();

code

  ob_start();

    $query = $db->query("SELECT `image` FROM `userdetails` WHERE id = '{$_SESSION['uid']}' ");
    $row = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

    echo $row['image'];

    header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
    ob_end_flush();

thanks

What you ask about in your question is subject to many parameters of which I fear your question does - if at all - scratch only some of them.

What pops into the eye is the PNG header:

‰PNG  IHDR\r¨fÆÉIDAT

does not look broken. So you probably did have a problem to store the image into the database. Maybe the data was truncated / modified and this change got unnoticed?

One way to deal with that is to create a checksum of the files before putting them into the blob to be able later on to verify the data-integrity.
