Displaying Image on web page question

[Ralph Freshour]

My .php app displays an image on the web page, I notice that different
..jpg images display "funny" - apparently they all have slightly
different image widths and heights yet in the image tag I have to set
those properties to something - is there a way in php to get an image
width and height so I can set it correctly for each image?

<IMG SRC="<?php echo $php_image ?>" WIDTH="268" HEIGHT="176"
BORDER="0" ALT="">

Ahhhh...yes thank you.

BTW - when I write the .jpg file to my MySQL table, all I get is the
filename in the table col - I've defined the col as mediumblob to hold
the actual image but all I get is the filename - is there some kind of
trick to storing an image to a col?

Thanks...

But then some kind of image management scheme must be developed so
when records are deleted you don't end up with image files on the
server that don't belong to any records...???

You've got to load in the contents of the file into a variable and save
this to the database. file_get_contents() would probably do it.

The standard response to this kind of question however, is don't store
the image in the database (the database can end up huge and clunky), but
store the filename of the image stored on the server.

MK.

Thanks...

well, yes, you write sometyhing into your admin code (you did write an
admin interface, not just "use PHPMyAdmin", right?) to delete the files
as appropriate
