Rendering images and videos from mongodb with the power of php?

Question

PHP

Good afternoon, dear experts!
The crux of the matter is as follows.
There is a task to display data (text, pictures, video) from the database using php.
I am a complete zero php, so the question is:

<?php
  // Config
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'test';

// Connect to test database
$m = new Mongo("mongodb://$dbhost");
$db = $m->$dbname;

// select the collection
$collection = $db->Boroda;

// pull a cursor query
$cursor = $collection->find();
echo $cursor->count() . ' document(s) found. <br/>'; 
foreach ($cursor as $obj) {
echo  $obj['Text0'] . '<br/>';
$count++;
}

$gridFS = $db -> getGridFS();
// Получаем файл по id
$file = $gridFS -> findOne(array('_id' => new MongoId('5706388608baf803e414368d')));
// посылаем пользователю бинарное представление файла
echo $file -> getBytes();
?>

This code outputs text perfectly, but photos and videos are only binary. And it is necessary that files.
Ready to give thanks!

Answer 1

Why would you store files in a DB? Keep links to files!

Answer 2

You need to specify the correct content-type in the header,
If you need something in the browser to pop up a save file dialog, then you need to specify the content-disposition

Answer 3

> Binary, only files.
Add a header indicating what you are giving away and that's it.
Insert into the page for example
But this is of course a so-so option.
It is better to make some kind of cache for such a thing, and cache on nginx, for example, what was given.
