I'm having problems to render an image field as an image in php...

The image is saved raw in an image field in SQL 7.0. I have to convert the
image field into chunks of varchar(4096) before passing them to php, because
php-freetds seems not to like the data type image, secondly the TEXTSIZE is
limited to 4kB by default.... I know I can change it but it doesn't help...

It seems also that a GIF image is stored using twice the size.

I have succeeded to do it with an OLE encapsulated jpeg image, but I can't
make it with a GIF (I strip the OLE header by looking for the JFIF string).

Anybody has suceeded to store and retreive image using php-freetds-SQL 7.0
