a tutorial to upload an image file to MySQL as BLOB data.
u need 3 files:

- test_imagedb.php = form to upload
- test_imagedb_create.php = retrieve image from db
- test_imagedb_view.php = yeah.. view it.. what else? :D

but before we continue, change your setting on "php.ini" and "my.ini" to accept large image files.

php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 4M


my.ini
[mysqld]
set-variable=key_buffer=16M
set-variable=max_allowed_packet=16M


set those directives above to any value that you want. now, we can continue..

mysql dump
[code]
#
# Table structure for table 'tblimage'
#

CREATE TABLE `tblimage` (
  `imgid` int(3) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `imgtype` varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',
  `imgdata` mediumblob,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`imgid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;


test_imagedb.php
[code]
<body>
<?
if (!isset($_REQUEST["submit"])) {

/*

$hndl=fopen($_REQUEST["imgfile"],"r");

hi~thank for share the code.but i find a bug in your code.because it can`t upload the larger image file.

$imgdata=fread($hndl,filesize($_REQUEST["imgfile"])); 

when this line want to read from image file,the FROM is complete posted. so fread read end of the image file.

try to use this:

     $imgdata=``: 
     while(!feof($hndl)){ 
         $imgdata.=fread($hndl,2048);  
        } 

to fix the BUG!

Code is great, i worked out fine, just one question:
do I have to upload the image file directly from the 
server`s directory=?? I tried to upload an image from my 
hard disk and it didn`t work, when I uploaded an img 
located in the server it worked just fine and the image 
was saved in the blob field...., Tnx in advance!

I have tried this example and others like it.  I know that 
the data is a jpg and is a blob however when I try the 
script I get a long line of numbers and letters.  If I 
could use a folders and relative file names I would 
however I am synching two databases and am at the mercy of 
the maintainer of the others database. 


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

In localhost with windows xp works fine but in remote on server linux it doesn`t work.
But I`ve done some modify and now works fine on my linux server.
I`ve changed:

enctype &gt;&gt;

&lt;form method="POST" action="&lt;?= $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?&gt;" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt;

fileopen &gt;&gt;

$hndl=fopen($imgfile,"r") or die ("I CANT OPEN $imgfile");

I don`t know if this is right thing but it works!
Bye

In my server your code didnt work, i dont know why but a used this code to correct the problem:

$imgdata = file_get_contents($_FILES['imgfile']['tmp_name']);
$imgdata = mysql_real_escape_string($imgdata );
