Tutorials that shows how to upload and store image/binary files in a database
also usually shows how to retrieve them (and in the case of images, also how
to display them).
One function you'll find useful is
imagecreatefromstring()
thanks.
i found an example for uploading an image into the proper database field, which ***seems*** to have worked.
and i found another example for pulling it back out to use directly in html code:
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=1.2.3.4 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=myname password=mypass");
$result = pg_exec($dbconn, "SELECT $image FROM thetable where name='$name');
$image = stripcslashes(pg_result($result, 0, 0));
header("content-type: image/gif");
echo $image;
?>
... BUT it's giving me the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /myfolder/gif.php on line 5
that's the header() line, but what could the problem be?
thanks.
