An addition: Actually, just echoing the stripcslashed string to the browser works just as with pg_loreadall if I put the script that does the echoing into a teensy little html page as in <img src="show_image.php"> where show_image.php is just a script that does echo stripcslashes(pg_result($result, 2, image)); (after doing the sql stuff, that is). Which means that I know how to do it without a tmp file. However, I still don't understand the mechanism and I still don't know how to do it in a single script. It appears that you have to provide a file path for the <img src . . . tag. Can you do that *within* a script without creating a tmp file somehow? Regards, Frank
