Nooooooooooooooooooo!
If you are calling stripslashes() on data coming out of your databsae, you
have almost for sure really screwed up much earlier in the process, by
having both Magic Quotes "on" and calling addslashes() (or
mysql_real_escape_string) or something similar.
You would only do stripslashes() here if you've hacked php.ini to use
Magic Quotes on data coming *OUT* of the database, which is really quite
rare to do -- You'd want that only on a site where, what?, you were
shlepping a bunch of stuff out of one database and into another???

Your stripslashes() corrupted the image, assuming it was valid in the
first place.
