Re: [PHP-DB] linking images
What field type do you use for stroing pictures? If not BLOB, you should try it. I haven't got a lot experience in it, but if you 'd like I 'll post some messages from the postgres mailing list to discover how it may be used. BLOBS are really useful , you can store some MBs in a field using BLOB type. I think it is quite enough for you :) - Original Message - From: "Sharmad Naik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 2001. április 30. 16:05 Subject: [PHP-DB] linking images > I m using postgresql-7.0.2 with php,My problem is that this database > doesn't allow more than 4k images to be stored . > I wanted to know how to store images in a > directory and keep its link in the dbase or if anyone can tell me how to split > the image so that it can be kept in the dbase > -Thanks > -- > The secret of the universe is @*&í!'ñ^#+ NO CARRIER > ___ _ _ _ > |_|_||_||_||\/||_|| \ > _|| || || \| || ||_/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And store the file type - it does make a difference when you go to display it..i.e. *.gif or *.jpg..

RE: [PHP-DB] linking images
Binary Large Objects permit storage of any operating system file, including
images or large files directly into the database, Use lo_import() to load an
object into the database and lo_export() to retrieve.
CREATE TABLE picture(name char(20), photo OID); -- as an example.
The lo_import() stores a path, i.e., /../...jpg and so on, into the
database. The function call returns an OID that is used to refer to the
imported large object. It is stored in picture.photo thus:
INSERT INTO picture VALUES ('blabla', lo_import('/directory path/..jpg'));
To retrieve it do:
SELECT lo_export(picture.photo, '/export path, i.e., /tmp/outimage.jpg')
FROM picture WHERE name = 'blabla';

Subject: [PHP-DB] linking images
I m using postgresql-7.0.2 with php,My problem is that this database
doesn't allow more than 4k images to be stored .
I wanted to know how to store images in a
directory and keep its link in the dbase or if anyone can tell me how to
split
the image so that it can be kept in the dbase
-Thanks

Re: [PHP-DB] linking images
Best way to do it is to store the filename in the db, faster and really simple. What I have done at my site is write a script that uploads the file. Uploading generates something like three variables [filesize, filetype, and filename] the only one I am concerned with is filename. The variables are named the same as the file upload fieldname plus an extension like this: say my upload field is NAME="upload_image" when i upload the filename can be referenced by upload_image_name - size by upload_image_size at least from what i can remember quickly. so i insert this filename [upload_image_name] into a table that references the associated ID. something like this: IMG_TABLE apartment_id filename k, so this will store the filename, now you just need to grab the filename from this table and echo the filename into the or like this: HTH, probably a bit confusing, lemme know if you would like my script. olinux --- Sharmad Naik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I m using postgresql-7.0.2 with php,My problem is > that this database > doesn't allow more than 4k images to be stored . > I wanted to know how to store images in a > directory and keep its link in the dbase or if > anyone can tell me how to split > the image so that it can be kept in the dbase > -Thanks > -- > The secret of the universe is @*&í!'ñ^#+ NO CARRIER > ___ _ _ _ > |_|_||_||_||\/||_|| \ > _|| || || \| || ||_/ > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > __ Do You Yahoo!?
