[Displaying images from database and saving as with the right name!]

Thanks for the explanation businessman, it wasn't explicit in your initial post that it wasn't possible.  It sounded like you were saying it was bad practice.  It won't take much work to do it the other way, I converted it from file storage to database in the first place, so no biggy.

Cheers again, Jim

[Displaying images from database and saving as with the right name!]

Thanks for the advice.  Point taken.  Is there a way to pass the name though?  On the size of system I am dealing with, the performance hit isn't a big deal and I'd just like to know if anyone can help me?

[Displaying images from database and saving as with the right name!]

Hi, I am storing images in a database for use on a website.  The problem is that when I try to save an image I am displaying on the page, the script name is the save name. (  The image src is typically: "view.php?imageID=3&size=thumb".  The code / headers in the script view.php which displays the images are:

if (!empty($row_imageRS['image'])){
    // Output the MIME header
    header("Content-Type: {".$row_imageRS['mimeName']."}");
$latifah=$row_imageRS['name'];
if ($_GET['size']=='main') {
// Output the image
    echo $row_imageRS['image'];}
if ($_GET['size']=='thumb') {
// Output the image
    echo $row_imageRS['thumb'];}
}

My question is, how do I get the displayed image to right-click save as $row_imageRS['name'] ?

Cheers for any help offered!

Jim
