Using blob images with a "fancybox" plugin

Question

I`m trying to display blob images from my db with a fancybox plugin (fancybox.net) like this:

<a class="fancybox" href="data:image/jpeg;base64,<?php echo base64_encode($vinyl['f_pic']); ?>" data-fancybox-group="4"><img src="img/eyey.png"></a>

But that doesn't work. When i press on my eyey.png i get just blob data (in text) in my fancybox window.

Can you even do that ? Display images in blob format in a fancybox window ?

Answer 1

You probably want to link the fancy box to a page and put the code to display the image on that page. I don't think you can use href=data: in a fancybox.
