Help loading a swf into mysql bd

bmabma

Greetings forum,

Can someone tell me how to insert a swf into the mysql database through a php script??

I have a radio button that I need to assign this value to and then use....
$query= "Insert into........ to place it into the db

How can I assign this swf file to the value of my radio button without showing the movie on the page, and then send it to the db?

Here is the file............................
<object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0' width='642' height='398' id='green_booth' align='middle'>
<param name='allowScriptAccess' value='sameDomain' />
<param name='movie' value='blue_booth.swf' />
<param name='quality' value='high' />
<param name='bgcolor' value='#ffffff' />
<embed src='blue_booth.swf' quality='high' bgcolor='#ffffff' width='100' height='100' name='blue_booth' align='middle' allowScriptAccess='sameDomain' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' />
</object>

I know I am probably doing this wrong but I have noticed that if I load this file as is, into a field in the db I can display it in the browser much easier by using................

$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
echo"
$row->fieldname.

I am desperate to get this done and I will take any solutions that anyone has.

Thanks in advance

Can you clarify this... Do you want to store the FILE or the CODE FOR THE FILE (above) in the database?

If you want to store the file in the database, then I'm afraid I can't heolp you (it may not be possible) can you think of an alternative?

As thepeccavi asked, some clarification is needed here.

You have radio buttons and different flash movies. You talked about storing the selected movie into a MySQL database. Do you want to store the actual .swf file, or just a link/path to it? Both options are certainly possible, though I don't know why you'd want to store the actual file in the DB.
