Re: idiot problem with mysql/php

Andres, My approach to storing images in a MySQL database is to actually store string *references* to them. I just put all the images in a folder somewhere on the hard drive, and then put strings like "C:\images\myimage.gif" into the MySQL DB. Try it out, it works great!

Evrithing works fine in my internet database, but not in my local machine (I run a iis server, php, mysql). The images are not stored well in the database (the table is identical to the table I have in my internet mysql database). That's the code I used to store the images: MYSQL_CONNECT( "localhost", "****", "****"); mysql_select_db( "*****"); $data = addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "r"), 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')"); MYSQL_CLOSE(); Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Andres Baravalle By the way: I have some cookies that are not read in my local computer, but are read in my web site. Any suggestion?
