save image to mysql with php - php

Question

i created this form to add my images to mysql database,and i think i did it right-cause it saves something :D - but it wont show me the image, what should i do to "SEE" the image from mysql?!
this is my form php:
$tmp_name=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if ((($_FILES['file']['type']) == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES['file']['type']) == "image/gif"
|| ($_FILES['file']['type']) == "image/pjpeg"
&& ($_FILES['file']['size']) > 200000) {
$tmp_name=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
// i also tried addslasheds
$image = mysql_real_escape_string(file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']));
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] > 0) {
echo "return code : " . $_FILES['FILES']['error'];
}else{
if (file_exists($_FILES['file']['name'])) {
echo "your file is already exists!";
}else{
Query("INSERT INTO image(image) VALUES ('".$tmp_name."')");
echo "FILES has been stored";
}
}
}
}else{
echo "invalid file";
}?>
and my code to show the image is:
<?php
require 'lib.php';
$request=Query('SELECT * FROM image');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($request)) {
echo $row['image'];
}?>

Inserting the temporary name into your database won't accomplish anything because it is just that, temporary. You need to save the image somewhere on your server using move_uploaded_file() and then save the new permanent name to your database so that you can use it in html image tags later.
$filename = "myimage.jpg";
$path = "/var/www/images/".$filename;
$link = "http://domain.com/images/".$filename;
move_uploaded_file($FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path);
$image = mysql_real_escape_string($link);
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] > 0) {
echo "return code : " . $_FILES['FILES']['error'];
}else{
Query("INSERT INTO image(image) VALUES ('".$image."')");
echo "FILES has been stored";
}
Then when you retrieve your image:
<?php
require 'lib.php';
$request=Query('SELECT * FROM image');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($request)) {
echo '<img src="'.$row['image'].'" />";
}?>
