PHP - Displaying blob images on a page from a MySql database.

Below is the code i am currently using to display the result of the search. At the moment i can only display text but i also must display images also. I really need to solve this problem asap. All advice would be helpfull but i want to avoid using the method of storing images on the server. I'd rather keep them on MySql.

Thanks
