You're right - you're pulling $file out of thin air. Once uploaded, the
file is stored in $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], and you need to manually
read the data into $file yourself. Something like:
file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])

Hi All
I don’t understand how to save an image to a mySQL table based on the following
form. I am trying to do this using Prepared Statements. All the fields except
the image file itself save in the database. Right now I have $file as the
variable when binding the values. What should it be? Ron
# bind variables
$stmt->bindValue(':caption', 'Test Caption', PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindValue(':image_type', $_FILES["file"]["type"],
PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindValue(':image_size', $_FILES["file"]["size"],
PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindValue(':image_name', $_FILES["file"]["name"],
PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->bindValue(':image', $file, PDO::PARAM_STR);
