So I've got some images stored in a MySQL database as BLOB's (I know it's better to just store the directory and do it that way, but this is what I need to do for now) and I need to display them on a webpage. Now, I know how to make a script and give it an image header and pull the img src from there, but I have a lot of images from different places for different uses, so I'd have to make a ton of these scripts and I'd rather not clutter up my files like that. Anyway, does anyone know of a function or something I can use to display the image that will run on the same page?
Pardon my noobishness, but I've never heard of this technique. I'm reading up on it now, but could someone explain how I would go about using it? Thanks

Wherever you would have `http://...` in a `img src`, you instead put `data:` followed by the mimetype, the encoding, and the encoded image data.

Ah, very interesting. Thanks, I'm gonna try this.
