RE: [PHP] Re: Pictures and sound in MySQL and access via PHP
The way I always store links in the database is in the format of varchar,
but if a file is stored in a mp3 folder to follow your example I would list
it in the database as /mp3/sound.mp3. Then list your code like this:
echo "";
echo "NederlandsOostendsUitleg";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "";
echo $row[woord_nl]. ""
. $row[woord_ost]. ""
. $row[betekenis_nl]. ""
. "link name";
echo "";
}
Hope this hleps and works in your situation,

How do you make a link in MySQL?
I tried following code were the field "geluid" contains a link to a mp3
format of field geluid = varchar(250). The problem is that i just get plain
text instead of a link to the MP3. Even better would be to have a button to
clicjk if you want to hear the sound.
echo "";
echo "NederlandsOostendsUitleg";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "";
echo $row[woord_nl]. ""
. $row[woord_ost]. ""
. $row[betekenis_nl]. ""
. $row[geluid];
echo "";
}

I'd do something like this:
. "" . $row[geluid] . ""
To get you link - basically, just put your link into the appropriate
html tags. If you prefer a button or something else then apply the html
you'd use and go with it.

Can sombody help me out with a little If the files are not "secret" or "for members only", you should better store them somewhere under your http document tree, and store *only* their filenames in the database, then you could provide a link to the file. I think this would be the faster. Or if you want to "protect" the files, you could place them outside your document tree, and then use fileread or something similar to read them. But I'd suggest you to keep only the filenames on the database, and store the files in the filesystem, it'd better for the performance and integrity of the files.
