Images in a database

Ok, I had a more barebones version of this script working, but when I
tried to put it in with my larger script, it broke. I think the problem
lies somewhere in the uploading, but I'm not sure of this. Anyway,
here's what I have:

index.php
---------------------------------
<?
include("header .inc");
if (!isset($_SESSI ON['username']) or ($_SESSION['username'] == "Guest")) {
header ("Location: http://www.thisisfake. com/index.php");
}
dbconnect();
?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Upload </title>
</head>

<body>
<center>
<?
if($id) {

switch ($action) {

case "delete":
$data = mysql_query("SE LECT id,uploader FROM files WHERE id = '$id'");
$id = mysql_result($d ata,0,"id");
$uploader = mysql_result($d ata,0,"uploader ");
if ($_SESSION["username"] == $uploader || $_SESSION["level"] ==
"admin") {
mysql_query("DE LETE FROM files WHERE id = '$id'");
echo "File deleted";
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"
content="2;URL= http://www.thisisfake. com/upload/">';
} else {echo "Invalid permissions";}
break;
default: //Echo contents if image, else send as file download
$query = "select mimetype, data from files where id = $id";
$result = mysql_query($qu ery);

$data = mysql_result($r esult,0,"data") ;
$type = mysql_result($r esult,0,"mimety pe");
if ($type == "image/pjeg" || $type == "image/jpeg" || $type ==
"image/x-png" || $type == "image/png" || $type == "image/gif"|| $type ==
"image/bmp") {
echo base64_decode($ data);
} else {
get($id); //This send the file as a download, instead of echoing the
contents
}
break;
}
} else {

// Listing of files and the form

echo"
<form method=POST action=upload.p hp enctype=multipa rt/form-data>
<p>File to upload:<br>
<input type=file name=file>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'>
</form>
";

//All this stuff works
echo "<p></p>";
if ($data = getInfo()) {

echo '<table border="0" align="center">

$_SESSION["level"] == "admin") {
echo '<td><a

echo '</tr>

}

I may have broken it further after the initial breaking, so if something
seems doubly broken that might be it. If you need more information just ask.

error messages, buddy, error messages. surely you're not expecting someone
to debug that line by line??

Ok, I fixed it myself, all it was was the index.php was outputting html
regardless of whether there was an image data request, so as a result
the data send included html in it, which made the image "corrupt".

i have a script that accesses images on a fairly frequent basis, however, i'm thinking that it would be better to have them in an sql database, instead, for the same reason that it is generally preferable to access data in an sql database over a text file. the images are small (i don't think any exceed 350 bytes), so i don't expect it'll put a lot of strain on the sql server. anyway, i currently load the images using ImageCreateFromGIF,...

Hello, I have a problem that I have not been able to solve, even after searching the web. I have stored couple of images in the MySQL database and I am trying to get them displayed on a web page with PHP. Now, before we go any further, I want to make it clear that I am very aware of the current debate about storing images in the database. I understand both sides, however this is something I want to do for fun, as well as good learning.

Hi, I am currently writing a news admin system. I would like to add the ability to add images to each article. What I have always done in the past is uploaded (using a form) the image to a folder on the server and then in the database table that I INSERT the news article, I'll store the path of the uploaded image. To me this seems a bad idea as if the image paths were changed on the

Hello Members, I am setting up a photo website. I have decided to use PHP and MySQL.
