Perhaps if you had been more specific about "images in variables" (it looks like you're using BLOBs, I had guessed you were using filenames and storing the images on disk... which is another argument altogether), my answer (or sarcasm, in your eyes) would have been more direct to your question. As for my solution not working--for BLOBs, no. Of course not. My analogy of your question, however, is a bit like this: Q: "How do I turn on this light switch?" A: "You flip it to the 'on' position." ... Q: "No, I mean how do I route power from the solar panels on my roof to produce a current that will be affected by this lightswitch?" I don't see the reason for Base64 encoding anything, but I'm glad (also not sarcastic) that you got the answer to your question that you were looking for. I also hope that you learned to be more specific when you're requesting assistance, and not throwing someone's suggestions back in their face when they were just trying to lend you a hand with what they understood your question to be.
