Re: php, postgresql and graphical images

Hi Dave and thanks for advice.

You show in your example how to create an html file containing only
one picture.
How do you insert multiple graphical images into a "mixed" document
containing text and graphical images?
Do I still have to save bytea data into a temporary file (how?) and
than get in with <img> tag?

Sorry for stupid questions :-)
