Using a form to populate images in a table..

[Timsoft]

Okay, I am a newbie just trying to finish my first project. I am looking for someone to steer me in the right direction on this. I am running PHP 5.2, IIS 6.0, MS SQL

I am working with two pages. The first has a selection of images with a checkbox next to each one. So, now I want to use this form to fire a script that will place the selected images into a table on the second page.

My approach was this:

1. To have the script decipher which checkbox was selected by using IF/ELSE & $POST/$GET statements

2. Each checkbox would prompt a different MSSQL Query that would return the proper image.

I am having some problems with this though. I'm not sure which MS_SQL query to use in conjunction with PHP to accomplish this. I tried "fopen" but couldn't get that to open the image.

Also, I am confused about whether to store the image as binary or by URL (Want to use URL, buit not sure if that means path on Server?!)

Any help would be appreciated!

If your images are all stored in the same folder, you should just store the image name. No need to store any part of the url that is common to all images.
