BLOB image to iOS app thru PHP:

Question

I have an image stored as a blob in an MySQL database. Now I want to get this image over to my iOS app so that I could present it on the app.

Any example / tutorial / answer would really help, so thanks in advanced!

store the link in the database and upload the image on the file-server? — OptimusCrime, Sep 16 '12 at 14:18
Would that still be efficient if I store a profile picture for every user, and have thousands of users on my website? — byteSlayer, Sep 17 '12 at 05:59

You need to fetch blob content from mysql table and then do base64_encode. pass encoded image data to your iOS app and then decode at iOS level
