Hello everyone,
I have a couple questions and I am wondering if anyone could point me in
the right direction.
What I want to do, is the following...
Upload an image (most likely jpeg), display it and store it in a mysql db
right after upload, without storing a copy on the server and
then referencing the file.
Have another script that gets the image from the db and displays it once
again without storing copies on the server.
to upload its just
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uphome.php" method = "post">
<input type="hidden" name ="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500000">
Upload this file: <input name ="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="upload">
then to reference the file.. should it be?
$fp=$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
I'm not quite sure how to display it, without using copy or
move_uploaded_file first.
Just echoing the regular html <img scr=$fp > doesn't seem to work with the
temporary path from tmp_name? unless I copy the file to some location
which I don't want to do.
I'm also not sure exactly how would I store and retreive the file from
the db.
is it just (after connecting to db) similar to
mysql_query('insert into table (column) values (\''.$fp.'\')';
I seem to have found several different answers online, none of which
worked for me, please point me in the right direction.
Ilya
