The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Pull BLOB (pictures) from mysql DB and display

Asked by jguy07 in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: , ,

I'm having problems pulling BLOB data from a mysql db and displaying it in a web browser.  I can query the db just fine and return text data.  However, the BLOB shows up as "Y0ya" instead of the actual picture.  Here's the simple code:

<CFQUERY NAME="agents" DATASOURCE=
"alaweb2">
SELECT * FROM tbl_Files<CFQUERY>

<head>
<title>Agent Qry.</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Output From DB</h1>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="agents">
#id_files#<BR>
#bin_data#<BR>
#description#<BR>
#filename<BR>
#filesize<BR>
#filetype#<BR>
#owner#<BR>
#prop_num#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>

</body>
</html>

All text data comes in just like I want it to.  I know that BLOBs are 0's and 1's streaming in RAW format from the DB.  I just don't know how to make CF display them.  Please advise.  This is the only problem that's holding this project up.  Start Free Trial
