Why are technical writers important?
I am technical writer and as such I can answer the question. Technical writers are important because of the gap in knowledge between a technical professional and an end user. A good technical writer can work with a subject matter expert, then use words and images to communicate technical information to an end user who needs to use the information in an applied manner. Unfortunately, technical managers often incorrectly assume they do not need technical writers and/or can do this work themselves. If generating high-quality, useful technical documentation is your objective, hire an experienced technical writer who has that unique combination of technical knowledge, listening skills, written communication skills, and applications skills (e.g., Microsoft Word, Adobe Framemaker).
How to Become a Technical Writer?
Technical writers, sometimes called technical communicators, are responsible for writing documentation, whether it’s for software or hardware, or even appliances and specialized equipment used for industry, or instructions for accomplishing procedures, or even the manual that comes with your new stereo, dishwasher or car. Technical writers sometimes become technical editors, or the other way around. Most technical writers are currently employed in the computer, game and software industries, or in the field of engineering. Some technical writers work as independent contractors, while others work for a specific company or corporation. Others write books and articles for publishers and magazines. Most technical writers specialize in a particular field; for instance, writing aeronautic documentation, or writing about a particular kind of software, hardware, or computer operating system. In the past, a high school diploma and an ability to write clear, grammatical standard English were often enough to obtain work as a technical writer, but that’s much less common now. Now, in addition to a four year college degree (typically in English, communication, journalism, engineering, or in the field of technical writing) most technical writers need a specific field of expertise, for instance, a particular kind of software or hardware, or programming. Many fields specifically require a writing degree and expertise in a computer language or several years experience providing professional technical support. In addition to advanced proficiency with written and spoken English, technical writers need to be skilled with various desktop publishing, Web publishing, and graphics programs. They may be required to read and understand flow charts and programming diagrams, floor plans, or wire frames. Technical writers often are expected to be comfortable writing in HTML, and manipulating computer graphics. They need to be able to meet deadlines, take direction, work under pressure, and work as part of a team. Many schools offer not only a bachelor’s degree in English but a specialization in technical writing. Depending on the specific kind of technical writing, some jobs will require not only a four year degree but proof of expertise in programming, or networking or using particular kinds of equipment. In addition to a bachelor’s degree in an appropropriate field, it’s a good idea to take classes in non-fiction and technical writing, and in using various kinds of software and hardware, or to pursue certification in the field you expect to be writing about, whether it’s server maintenance or auto repair.

Why do engineers need to learn about technical writing?
Well, it is valuable to learn writing in any career, because many jobs, especially at the supervisory level, require an awful lot of paperwork. Additionally, Engineers have to work with technical writers to explain their stuff sometimes, and understanding how to translate the technical jargon for the layperson is a valuable skill. Especially in those companies where they don't hire trained technical writers for a job, but instead assign the writing TO an engineer. Those publications tend to be abyssmal unless the engineer has had some experience with writing.

How do you retrieve an image from a database using PHP?
It depends what Database you are using. I personally use MySQL so will explain how you would do it using MySQL. You would have to create the MySQL database. I would store the image URL rather than the actual image. Then call it using PHP and a MySQL query. For Example: $sql = "SELECT * FROM Images WHERE Img_Name = 'img1'"; $query = mysql_query($sql); $array = mysql_fetch_array(query); then you would call it into HTML like so:
