I know that uploading an image to a database has been covered, oh, about 3 trillion times. However, I haven't found anything covering uploading to a MySQL database with .net. Please don't recommend storing the image to the filesystem and only keeping a pointer to that in the table. I want to dump the image to a table. My code dumps the data into the table, however, I get the following error when trying to view the image "the image ......

I've written a file uploading part of my application using the IHttpModule. So now, I don't have the memory problem of uploading something big. Problem: I can't find which function I have to override, so that I can catch the event when while user's uploading a file, then suddenly closes the browser. In that case, couple things happens: 1) ASPNET will start eating up the uploading file on memory instead of on disk (so picture a...

Hi All, I have a web site I am developing, and have a question. I would like members to be able to upload pictures. Do you think they should be saved as individual files or should they be put in an MySQL database? Which would you recommend, and do you have any sample code for accomplishing this? Ciao . . .

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...

I have a problem with uploading special characters from excel files to mysql 5. It doesn't matter if I use UTF-8 or iso-8859-1 when uploading the trademark ™ symbol. htmlspecialchars() or htmletities() doesn't help? the database doesn't show the data in the field but replaces it with the binary/Image information. the following are examples of how I've tried loading the data along with UTF-8 or iso-8859-1:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
