in the other page show the image by selecting it then
print it out to the page with "Content-type: image" (jpeg/gif/etc) header;
But, i didn't find how to show pdf binary file so that the browser
can directly call acrobat reader to show it,
i tried to use content-type : application/pdf but it failed!
i think maybe in the pdf cases,
browser called acrobat reader because of its extension (pdf),not because
the header is it true?
could someone help me?

I agree with Dave. I wrote an application to allow a client to upload/manage
images and categorise them into diff. parts of their website.
Images were stored as normal image files after upload and a pointer made to
them from the appropriate database record (which had additional image info
e.g. description)
Since I now have to move this website to a new server -> transferring all
these files was a bit annoying. Storing them as binary data in mysql would
have been easier to manage...

You must either chown the upload directory toan opinion if there was one. personally, i like storing all this stuff on the file system.
the user that your web-server runs as, or chmod it to be world-writable.
When creating a web-application that you plan to distribute (like
Slashcode), you can't assume that your users will have that privilege.
So, storing it in MySQL is a great option.
