Question

I stored it images in the database using an BLOB field (I’m using SQLite). Now I want to recover this image to a HTML page and show the images there.

I can retrieve the binary data from the image from the database, but what I can do to transform this data in an image and show in the page? Currently I want to show the images inside a field in a table.

You could abuse the data: protocol, but trust me, you don’t want that if you can avoid it. Normally, you create a separate php-script that serves images, so in script 1:

 <img src="/myimagescript.php?id=1234">

In myimagescript.php:

//get the data from the database somehow (mysql query et al.)
//let's assuma the data is in $data
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');//alter for png/gif/etc.
echo $data;
