Dear Group,

I'm not sure what is going one with my software, but something really
strange.
I'm storing in BLOB in MySQL data of an image, which I display like:

header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo base64_decode($blobColumnData);

Firefox/IE says, that the image cannot be displayed because it
contains errors. I've tried setting header to image/jpeg, etc, with no
results.
At the end, I've just tried fwrite() the 'base64_decode($blobData)'
into a file and display it in Gimp - with no problems, with no
difference jpeg or png.

What's wrong? Where shall I look for problems?

Some system details:
