I want to store the image binary data in a MySQL Blob field. So I
created a simple form that prompted the client for an image file that
would be uploaded to the server.
The server takes the file and gets the following data, assuming ImgFile
is the name of the uploaded image.
$ImgTitle = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ImgFile']['name'];
$ImgType = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ImgFile']['type'];
$ImgSize = $HTTP_POST_FILES['ImgFile']['size'];
When I go to save $ImgFile into MySQL is is actually saving the name of
the temporary location of that file on my server and not the binary data
that compose that image. This does not surprise I knew this much at
least.
So how do I get the Binary DATA to save and not the temp file location?
Thx.
