Image not uploading to database - php

Question

I have created a php script with a form that it should insert some data into database, it actually add the text and the ID but it does not add the file.
the database looks like this:
Database name: highmob_comenzi
table name: players
in table we got 3 rows:
ID (auto_increment)
name (the name that we insert from the form)
schite (where the files should be uploaded) Type: blob Colation: none , all none
this is the script what I have tried so far
<?php
include('connect-db.php');
?>
<?php
function renderForm($name, $schita, $error)
{
?>
<?php
if ($error != '')
{
echo '<div style="padding:4px; border:1px solid red; color:red;">'.$error.'</div>';
}
?>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>"/>
<input type="file" id="schita" name="schita" >
<button type="submit" name="submit">Add Data</button>
</form>
<?php
}
include('connect-db.php');
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$schita = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['schita']));
if ($name == '')
{
$error = 'Error !!';
renderForm($name, $schita, $error);
}
else
{
mysql_query("INSERT players SET name='$name', schita='$schita'")
or die(mysql_error());
header("Location: mobila.php");
}
}
else
{
renderForm('','','','','');
}
?>
This script creates a page for each ID when we insert data in the form
Like pagename.php?id=4
I want when i fill the form after he create the page when i open the page to see the uploaded file only on that page,
any idea why its not working?

Answer 1

Get the request file using $_FILES, also you need to confirm your mysql field (schita) is a blob type

Answer 2

You need to correct insert query. You are missing 'into' keyword. Change query to:
mysql_query("INSERT into players SET name='$name', schita='$schita'");

Answer 3

You need to convert image to base64 and then save it to Database.
// Select file type
$target_file = basename($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$imageFileType = strtolower(pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
// Convert to base64
$image_base64 = base64_encode(file_get_contents($_FILES['schita']['tmp_name']) );
$image = 'data:image/'.$imageFileType.';base64,'.$image_base64;
// Insert record
$query = "INSERT into players(schita) values('".$image."')";
mysqli_query($con,$query);

Answer 4

I have managed to upload the file using this script
<?php
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=highmob_comenzi", "highmob", "PW");
if(isset($_POST['btns'])){
$name = $_FILES['myfile']['name'];
$type = $_FILES['myfile']['type'];
$data = file_get_contents($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name']);
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE players SET data='$myfile', name='$name', mime='$type' WHERE id='$id'");
$stmt->bindParam(1,$name);
$stmt->bindParam(2,$type);
$stmt->bindParam(3,$data);
$stmt->execute();
}
?>
<!-- form -->
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="myfile"/>
<button name="btns"> Incarca Schita </button>
</form>
<!-- display data -->
<?php
$stat = $dbh->prepare("select * from players");
$stat->execute();
while($row = $stat->fetch()){
echo "<a target='_blank' href='viewschita.php?id=".$row['id']."'>".$row['name']."</a>";
}
?>
The problem is i got no idea how to make a link to the file, any idea how?
