$briefintro=$_POST["briefintro"];
$qualification=$_POST["qualification"];

$con=mysql_connect($dbserver,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); }


 mysql_select_db($dbname, $con);
$query=("UPDATE accounts SET firstname='".$Fname."' , lastname='".$Lname."' ,  profileimg='".$image."' ,  briefintro='".$briefintro."',  qualification='".$qualification."' WHERE id=".$_SESSION['id']);
$result = mysql_query($query);
header("Location: update-profile.php?status=3");
mysql_close($con);
?>

You can just echo it, echo "<img src=". $image ." />";

@websponge thanx for ur response :)
i've echoed it by the same method but its not showing the image...nor giving any type of error.. please help

You first need to move the image to a permanent location. See this thread.

@pirates is it necessary to move image to a folder??? im storing the image in the database using medium blob type...i cant understand, need help

Okay, see this page in the manual about what part of $_FILES to use in your query.
