Upload images to a MySQL database (PHP)?
Ok so i don't get any error but is not doing anything to my database, any suggestions?
<body>
<form action="image.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
File:
<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
<?php
//Conect to database
$mydatabase = mysql_pconnect($hostname_mydatabase, $username_mydatabase, $password_mydatabase) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db("database")or die (mysql_error());
//file properties
$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
if (!isset($file))
echo"PLease select a file";
else
$image=addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']));
$image_name=addslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
$image_size=getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
if($image_size==FALSE)
echo "That's not an image.";
else
if ($insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table VALUES ('$image_name', '$image')"))
echo "Problem uploading image.";
else
?>
</body>
Why do you want the binary value of the image?
Just save the image name as you are and then move the uploaded file to the proper folder on your server.

Save an Image in a MySQL database
I am trying to save an image in a MySQL database. This is what I have done so far; I have created a table with one of the variables called
photo blob, this is what you use to save an image right?
When I write the image to the database after getting connected to it is where I am stuck, so far I can save Ints, Strings and Enum s values but I do not know how to convert my image into a Blob and save the blob. I have been doing some light reading and I am guessing I have to convert the image into a Stream of some sort. What type of stream I do not know. This is the java command I have to save the Blob but do not know what to use as the variable for the Blob.
prst.setBlob(5, "??????");As you can tell by the ????? marks, I do not know how to convert my image into the proper data type(whatever the data type is?) to save the contents into the database.
If somebody has the exact copy of the all the java coded steps that is needed to save an image as a Blob into a prepared database, that would be extremelu helpful to me.
Thank-you.The answer has to be quite simple. If you do not have
the answer please do not reply.Unfortunately it's not simple. This is one of my betes noire about the java libaries. The Blob stuff has gaping holes in it. There's no method, anywhere, to create a new Blob or Clob (also the design of the Blob and Clob interfaces tends to miss the point).
The ways arround this, there being no legitimate approach, vary with the database provider.
If the program an the server are running on the same machine (or files can be shared through NFS or the like) you can try the "LOAD_FILE" function.
With some databases I believe setBinaryStream instead of setBlob works, but I'm not sure the mySql driver is that smart. -
Uploading images for a mySQL / PHP database
Hopefully this can be done - I'm working on a site that uses
a simple mySQL database, where the records include an image.
I have the form to add records, including the field
containing the file name - but is it also possible to upload the
actual file using the same form to their folder, or does that need
to be done separately using FTP software?
The idea is for my client to be able to as easily as possible
add / delete / edit records himself, so clearly getting the actual
images uploaded at the same point he adds records to the database
would be great if that's possible.
Cheers,
IainThe PHP.NET site really covers it in considerable detail.

Storing Uploaded Image Path into Mysql
Hi I am developing a cms and am using the code David gives in his book PHP Solutions, everything works fine but I can't work out how to extract the uploaded path so that it is stored in my table.
Help would be really appreciated, I am making good progress in learning the php especially with David's books but am still struggling when it comes to having to customized the code.
The code for the upload.php is as follows,
<?php

Uploading a file into mySQL database?
Hello, everybody.
Can anyone give me a code snippet or at least a hint, how could I upload a file into the BLOB field of mySQL database using JSP webpage? How do you generally store uploaded files on the server? If anyone could suggest a good algorythm of saving the files in the server's file system and saving only their URLs in the database (this was my initial idea), I would be ready to accept this as well.
Would be appreciated for any help.Hi
Fou uploading the files from client site to server user the utility given by oreilly Go to this site and down the code for uploading the source code for fileupload
For writing this code to database use this code
code
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
class BlobTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
//File to be created. Original file is duke.gif.
DriverManager.registerDriver( new org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://agt_229/test","manoj","manoj");
/*PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO BlobTest VALUES( ?, ? )" );
pstmt.setString( 1, "photo1");
File imageFile = new File("duke.gif");
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(imageFile);
pstmt.setBinaryStream( 2, is, (int)(imageFile.length()));
pstmt.executeUpdate();
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT image FROM testblob WHERE Name = ?");
pstmt.setString(1, args[0]);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(args[0],"rw");
ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()) {
Blob blob = rs.getBlob(1);
int length = (int)blob.length();
byte [] _blob = blob.getBytes(1, length);
raf.write(_blob);
System.out.println("Completed...");
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
end of code
this code contain both inserting into table and retrieving from table -

Saving image in MySQL database
Best groupmember,
I want to save my images in a MySQL database. After storing that in the database I want to be able to present it using a servlet. Something like this (show image with id=4 from the database):
<img src="/servlet/image?id=4">
Would be happy to be guided to example code or tutorials about how to store images in a MySQL database using Java.
-- Best of Times
Peter LauriOk for storing images you'll have to use the type BLOB (=Binary Large Object) for the rest i would suggest that you take a look at the jdbc-documentation....
this might help... :p

I finally accomplished one of my tasks! Which was trying to upload a jpeg image into my mysql database, and then display it in a jsp page via a servlet. I extend my thanks to the java forums greatly:)
Now my next task I find is going to be trickier to accomplish, because I do not have enough experience working with images.
I would like to make my first task above more efficient.
When the user selects a jpeg file to send, I want to check the size of the image and resize it as well, before finally storing it in my Mysql database.
I do not want to lose the resolution, nor do I want it to look distorted after it is resized. I want to keep the same proportions as the original image (I hope that proportion is the proper term). After the image is stored successfully, it will be read out of the database and displayed within a jsp page via a servlet.
After poking around in the forums, I realized I need to get down the basics with regards to getting the properties of an image and trying to resize it. It doesn't look like it will be an easy task.
Does anyone know of any sites that provide a good, easy to understand tutorial? Or are there any books you would recommend I read? What Java classes should I be looking into to accomplish my task?
There are so many far more experienced programmers out there among the forums, that when I look at their code, I'm lost. I just want to understand this process better, by taking it one step at a time.
Any help is appreciated, as always:)
Thank You,
Love2JavaLoad image with ImageIO
Call getWidth() and getHeight()
Create a BufferedImage with width and height scaled accordingly
Get the image's Graphics2D object
Call drawImage(), passing an AffineTransform to scale accordingly
Output the image via ImageIO
That should be it - you just need to read the APIs for the classes I've mentioned, and tack on whatever input/output streams you need at either end (see the java.io package).
The only thing is:
I do not want to lose the resolution
Not totally sure what you mean: if you're scaling the image down to a thumbnail then by definition you're losing resolution. If you mean you want to keep the DPI resolution metadata in the image then you'll have to Google for it, the information is there but it hasn't remained in my head :o)
But then I can't imagine why you'd need DPI metadata in a thumbnail anyway, so you can probably ignore it. -
Upload image into mysql database residing on remote server is not working?
hello to all,
i need ur help,we hav online site .
i have to upload image(which can b from any pc) into mysql database residing on remote server of which we (don't hav actual path of that server).
the solution i'm using is working correctly on local bt when transfer it to server it shows
java.io.FileNotFoundException: (No such file or directory)
i have used multipartRequest to access parameter of file type input.
all variables and related packages r imported properly.no prblm in that.
code is here....................................
try {
MultipartRequest multi = new MultipartRequest(request, ".", 500000 * 1024);
File f = multi.getFile("uploadfile");
out.println(f.getName());
filename = f.getName();
String type = multi.getContentType(f.getName());
fis=new FileInputStream(filename);
byte b[]=new byte[fis.available()];
fis.read(b);
fis.close();
Blob blob=new SerialBlob(b);
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://10.1.52.206:3306/test?user=root&password=delhi");
String query="insert into uploads (FILENAME,BINARYFILE,) values (?,?)";

out.println("Image Stored in the Database");
else
out.println("Failed");
} catch (Exception ex) {
out.print("*******************"+ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
please suggest me the way to upload image to remote server** not on local server.
its urgent.
Edited by: JavaDevS on Jul 28, 2008 11:41 AMi need ur help,we hav online site .Please don't use these juvenile abbreviations. It's impolite when you're asking for assistance not to make the effort to spell out all of the words. Moreover in a forum with an international readership the use of standard English will reduce the possibility of confusion.
I presume that your file upload is being placed in a different directory from that which you were expecting. I would suggest logging all paths (specifically filename) to see if this is an unexpected value.
Please explain further what you mean by "local" - is this a stand-alone application, or merely running a copy of the server on your local machine and doing the transfer (via the browser) to that? Are there any other differences such as the browser used? -
How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?
Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.
Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata); -
How to upload images to MySql database.
Hey guys so i created a insert form in dreamweaver to add to a database, its workin fine but i want to add another field to browse for and add a small image of the item. I created my insert form with a wizard and I'm not sure how to add an image uploader to it. I have a blob field in my database called "image" I'm just not sure how to add to it from my form.

Storing images in a database is generally not a good idea. Apart from bloating your database and increasing the risk of table fragmentation when images are updated or deleted, you cannot display an image directly from a database. However, if you want to do it, you will find instructions here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Upload_images_to_a_MySQL_database__PHP_-16609.html.
The more common (and efficient) approach is to use the database to store details of the image, such as filename and caption. Then upload the image to your website's file system.
I give step-by-step instructions how to do this in my book, "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source", but if you have reasonable skill at using PHP, you can learn how to handle file uploads from the PHP Manual at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php. -
How to upload an image in a directory using PHP code generated by Dreamweaver?
I have created a dynamic website with Dreamweaver and PHP, i have also created a insertform page using dreamweaver's 'Record Insertion Form Wizard' i have a field named prod_img in my MySQL database and on my form but this is a text field and i have to enter the path of the image directory to display it but this needs to have the image in the directory, i want to add a browse file field so that the image uploads to the directory by PHP.

I have googled, yahooed, binged etc etc and tried many tutorials but nothing goes in my favor please do not suggest to search on search engines or websites.Years and months later, apparently Dreamweaver CC 2014 has a "File" Form object that has a text box and Browse button. Now I'm looking for the part that does the actual upload (which is why I wound up here). I'm sure by now you have found a way to resolve your issue, but there it is....

Problem uploading images with php script.
As a webdebdesigner i developped a cms system to upload images with php to a mysql database. Firefox version 5.0.1 for MAC and earlier have no problems with uploading through the script. But after that version it is impossible to upload images bigger then 250kb. The page where the customer chooses his image for upload stalls and the form is not sent to the actual upload script, which should validate and process the image.
This problem only occurs in Firefox, all other browsers work just fine!
On top of that: Giving feedback to firefox not possible for MAC.Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web site development issues with Firefox. <br />

I think so the method is searching the image in the server and no in the client.
If is this, How can i do it works?
Thanks for your help.to upload the file basic thump rule is the form type is multipart form data and method should be post.
u have to use any upload component to upload the file from the client machine to the server and then u have to upload it to the database
