1Please write your code as text instead of using image. – Syscall Feb 12 '18 at 09:59

You say you stored the image as base 64 encoded string in the DB. So why then do you base64_encode it AGAIN in your echo? – delboy1978uk Feb 12 '18 at 10:48

BTW you are much better saving the image in a folder, and storing the path to the image in the DB ;-) – delboy1978uk Feb 12 '18 at 10:49

what you need to do is read the base64 from db and use it to create an image file, here is a function to create jpeg image from base64
function base64_to_jpeg($base64, $jpeg) {
$fp = fopen($jpeg, 'wb');
$data = explode(',', $base64);
fwrite($fp, base64_decode($data[1]));
fclose( $fp );
return $jpeg;
}
and the function will return the jpeg file object

you can get all the base^4 strings and put it in a loop, then call this function, it will create each of these images – Shobi Feb 12 '18 at 10:10

May be this solution works for you:
How to decode a base64 string (gif) into image in PHP / HTML
Quoting that source but modifying: In the case you strip out the first case and choose to decode the string, you should add this before echoing the decoded image data:
header("Content-type: image/gif");
$data = "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD........";
echo base64_decode($data);
In the second case, use this instead:
echo '<img src="data:image/gif;base64,' . $data . '" />';
The second case is bad because the browser does not perform caching if the same image is shown on multiple pages.
