store images directly in the sql databas

[Anon]

I get the following error when im using the How to store images directly in the sql database guide.

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/stripper/html/virker.php3 on line 32

Warning: fopen("/tmp/phpusjPzu", "r") - Operation not permitted in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/stripper/html/virker.php3 on line 32

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/stripper/html/virker.php3 on line 32

This file has the following Database ID: 0

What is the problem??

First off, don't store images in the DB, causes DB bloat, impacts performance...

recommend storing path/image name in DB as text and store the pic in a folder...way quicker to access the DB, easier to pass the image to the browser and far simpler to code..

you just need to upload the pic to a folder and pass the name to the DB.
