Dynamic images don't require inserting binary data into your HTML. (It is possible to use 'data:' URLs to insert arbitrary data into your HTML, but very few broswers support it, and it's not relevant for your purposes). The image and the HTML will come from separate HTTP requests, so all that's necessary is for you to put the appropriate URLs into the HTML and set up a corresponding PHP program to return the data, with the "Content-type: image/gif" (or whatever) header, and possibly others, depending on what you're trying to do. Except for the process of retrieving the data from the database, this has nothing to do with MySQL, so questions related to HTML, PHP, and HTTP headers should be directed to another list. -- Keith C.
