Images in database script from Florian

[foxxx]

Hi there,

I,m a newby on this stuff, so...

I,ve got the "images in database script" from Florian working. The image you are uploading is being stored in the database as binary data. So far so good.
But when you have nothing to upload, it gives an error.

Is it possible to give an "if" statement to overcome this behaviour and more important how does this piece of code must look like...

This is a fragment of the code being used to upload:

$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "r"), filesize($form_data)));

Ideas ?

Greetz,
Fox

Hi everyone,

With "cut&paste" I put some jpg's in my MSAccess database. The only field-type that's usable is: OLE-object (?)

When I export this field to a mySQL database, mySQL handles it like a "mediumblob". So far no problem..

But, when I try to view this jpg on a php-page: no picture at all! In other words: php doesn't reconize it as jpeg-file anymore.

Anybody who knows how to solve this problem?

Thanx!

That's because MS uses a generaic format for everything they can think of.

If you want to upload images into a database (which is a very bad idea to begin with) you will have to do it manually.
