Does anyone know the proper method for inserting an image(*.jpg or
*.gif) into a MySql database blob field? I am recieving the file via an
html form with the usual enctype for this and input type=file
parameters. I can save it as just a regular file and then display it
fine on the page, but no way can I update the database with this...and
have tried everything imaginable...surely this is done everyday and is
quite simple.
code snippet below - and yes, I am a php beginner...ASP by day and
trying to learn
PHP by night..
-
$photo = fopen($txtImage, "r");
$filecontents = fread($photo, filesize($txtImage));
echo "br";
echo "img src='$photo'";
$anotherfile = fopen("/www/htdocs/Survey/$thisfile", "a+");
fputs($anotherfile, $filecontents);
//fclose($anotherfile);
echo "br";
echo "img src='$anotherfile'";
echo "br";
echo $photo;
echo "brbrcenter";
echo "img src='$thisfile'";
$crapola = "101010101";
echo "brbrcenter";
$connection = mysql_connect("mysql.iticom.net","fractalv","fw348vnj")
or die ("crap!");
$db = mysql_select_db("fractalv", $connection) or die ("db");
$sql = "INSERT INTO Images (Image,
ImageType,ImageGallery,ImageLink,ThumbnailLink) VALUES
('$filecontents','$txtImageType', '$txtImageGallery', '$txtImageLink',
'$txtThumbnailLink')";
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die ("could not insert
into DB");
mysql_close($connection);
-ect.
thanks in advance for absolutley any ideas!
Phil,
I can think of two possible ways.. Depending on the version of MySQL
you have.
If you have v3.23, MySQL has a function called LOAD_FILE() which you can
pass the temporary file-name that you get from the wb page:
mysql_query( "insert into Images ( Image ) values ( load_file(
$txtImage ) );" );
Failing that, I would think that you have to read it in (as you do above),
escape it (addslashes() in php) then isnert that escaped string into the
database :
mysql_query( "insert into Images ( Image ) values ( '" . addslashes(
$filecontents ) . "' ); " );
Anyway.. a few possibilities to look into.
