I am with Karl on this.
Storing an image in the db is very heavy on lpad times.
Upload the image to a folder with name saved with location

Ron,
If your hell bent on storing the image data. :P
I would say base64 the data and use a blob or text
then read it out using something like..
$image = 'img src=data:'.$image_data.' /';
echo($image);
I would also say your individual image max size should be 50k or less.
If your storing product
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'])

Absolutely - do not store any images in a db. Makes no sense. The data
(the image) is static, basically safe from alteration or changing in any
way, so what is the need? Save the location/name of the image only and
store all of them in one (or more) secured folders on the server. No db

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?
Hey Ron,
I don't know how others feel, but I say save yourself a headache and
dont store the image data, just the url to the image on the server.
image_url – VARCHAR 100
Best,
Karl
