Loading Images from MySQL db to view in CI

Thanks for the reply.

Note, the above code is just merely to test the loading of images from the database. Thus the controller function, is merely loading the above view using $this->load-view(bla) statement.

Just as an update, I also have tried using CI's db helper to run queries on the model, thus retrieving the necessary values from the view. The result was similar to the one faced above. Other values from the db table loaded properly. The only problem is the image. Ive tried different 'content-types', such as 'jpg, blob..', but it still cannot work..
