PHP database SQL insert - php

Question

I am trying to write data form mine app to a external database.
I just get no response form my PHP page. When I look at the variables that I send to the PHP page, they are received good and nothing goes wrong at that moment.
But when I do an INSERT with SQL it goes wrong. (I think).
When I go to mine PHPadmin page and I do next SQL command, it works:
INSERT INTO images (FBid,Datum,Lat,Longi,Image)
VALUES ('1846465164',
'2016-08-25 14:14:15',10.5,5.69,'/9j/
4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQE
BAQEBQBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQH/2wBDAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB')
So i have next database;
ID(PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT),
FBid (varchar(255)),
Datum (datetime),
Lat (Double),
Longi(Double),
Image(Blob).
And this is my php page:
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
define('HOST','localhost');
define('USER','XXXXXXXXX');
define('PASS','XXXXXXXXX');
define('DB','database2');
$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect');
$image = $_POST['image'];
$FBid = $_POST['FBid'];
$date = $_POST['Date'];
$long = $_POST['long'];
$lat = $_POST['lat'];
$stmt = $con->prepare(
"INSERT INTO images (FBid,Datum,Lat,Longi,Image)
VALUES (:Fbid,:date,:lat,:long,:image)");
$stmt->bindParam(":Fbid",$FBid);
$stmt->bindParam(":date", $date);
$stmt->bindParam(":lat", $lat);
$stmt->bindParam(":long", $long);
$stmt->bindParam(":image","s",$image);
$stmt->execute();
$check = mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt);
if($check == 1){
echo "Image Uploaded Successfully";
}else{
echo "Error Uploading Image";
}
mysqli_close($con);
}else{
echo "Error";
}
Thank you guys!

Looking at the database connection, you are using mysqli prepare wrongly. In the INSERT statement, it looks like a PDO version. If you want to use PDO version, have a look at this link. You can't mix PDO and mysqli. The procedural style for mysqli_prepare is like below:
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($con, "INSERT INTO images VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
if ( !$stmt ) {
die('mysqli error: '.mysqli_error($con);
}
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'ssddb', $FBid,$date,$lat,$long,$image);
if ( !mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)) {
die( 'stmt error: '.mysqli_stmt_error($stmt) );
}
$check = mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt);
if($check == 1){
echo 'Image successfully uploaded';
}else{
echo 'Error uploading image';
}
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
