If you're doing what I think you are, then you're trying to save the contents of the file itself into a blob field of your database. However, your first example seems to be inserting the file*name* of the file into your blob field. You need the binary data of the file itself and store it in your table. Something like:
$file = file_get_contents($filename); $this->model->saveField('image', $file); Now all of the binary data will be stored in a blob in your table (don't let the skeptics scare you away from this approach, I've seen benchmarks that show blobbing images into a database is *faster* than finding the location in the database, then reading the data from the filesystem). And it'll probably help to keep track of the image's MIME content-type with another table column if you're going to have a PHP script that outputs the blob field data. I hope that helps :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
