[FX.php List] Problem Accessing Images From FileMaker DB through PHP(FX.PHP)

[Chris Hansen]

Debabrata,

Very interesting problem.  It does sound slightly familiar, but I'm  
not sure what the fix would be.  Basically, what image_proxy.php does  
is allow you to access images in FileMaker securely from outside a  
firewall (assuming your FM server is inside the firewall.)  That  
said, during development, you can look at exactly what you're  
encoding by echoing out the contents of the container field without  
encrypting them, like this:

echo($val['containerPicture'][0]);

You might then try accessing the image directly to see what your  
results are.  Finally, I'm not sure if it's an issue, but  
image_proxy.php also needs the proper user name and password for  
accessing the image.  There's actually and include for  
server_data.php so that this information can be retrieved.

Have a look at those and see what you find out.  HTH
