I need users to upload files via web form. I've managed to get myself into a situation where those files cannot be written to disk - instead they must be written to an oracle database.

I've managed to put the binary data in and get it back out, but I need to be able to write that binary data back out to a web page.

Example:

1) User uploads a .png file.
2) I write the binary data to the db
3) I select that data from the database
4) Now what? I need to write to the page <img src="image.png">

Remember, I have no chance of getting permissions to write these files to the disk. I'm also stuck in 5.6.1 and can't use the new features of 5.8

Anyone ever come across this particular dilemna?

Thanks!
