Working code to insert images into MySQL (success!)

I worked all day on this, so I thought it might be useful to others. Its adapted from Florian Dittmer's article on PHPBuilder.com: http://phpbuilder.com/columns/florian19991014.php3 The script is for storing binary (image) data directly into a MySQL table. I did not have to create a separate DATABASE - just a BLOB table. Both types of Magic quotes are off. My problem was that I like real lean code, and thought I could do without things like filesize....nooooo <html> <body> <form method="post" action="binform.html" enctype="multipart/form-data"> FILE DESCRIPTION:<br> <input type="text" name="form_description"> <input type="hidden" name="max_file_size" value="750000"> <br>File to Upload/store in DB:<br> <input type="file" name="form_data"> <p><input type=submit value=submit> </form> <?php include ("/home/mgordon/php/wamex.inc"); //insert your own connect info dblink (); //and here if ($form_data) { $data=addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "rb"), filesize($form_data))); $result=mysql_query(" INSERT INTO binary_data(description, bin_data, filename, filesize, filetype) VALUES ('$form_description', '$data', '$form_data_name', '$form_data_size', '$form_data_type') "); $id=mysql_insert_id(); print "<p> This file has the following DB ID:<b>$id</b>"; } ?> </body> </html> ===== Mark eyesyte@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
