How to upload and display images in mysql - php

Question

I would like to ask you how can I properly stored an image both in mysql and in a folder at the moment with this code:
<?php
if (isset($_FILES['image']) && $_FILES['image']['size'] > 0) {
// Temporary file name stored on the server
$tmpName = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
// Read the file
$fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
$data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
$data = addslashes($data);
fclose($fp);
// Create the query and insert
// into our database.
$query = "INSERT INTO tbl_images ";
$query .= "(images) VALUES ('$data')";
$results = mysql_query($query, $conn);
// Print results
print "Thank you, your file has been uploaded.";
}
else {
print "No image selected/uploaded";
}
if (!mysql_query($sql, $link))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>'
Also how properly to display it.
My database for the images is id, images. Do I need anything more for the job or that is enough.
Thank you.

Answer 1

From the above code, image will be saved in database not in folder.
To save in folder you have to use a below code after insert query.
move_uploaded_file($tmpName,"upload/" .$filename );
here upload is folder name.

Answer 2

If you want to store image in database you can use base64_encode method
$image = file_get_contents('filename.gif');
$imencoded = base64_encode($image);
$query = "INSERT INTO tbl_images ";
$query .= "(images) VALUES ('$imencoded')";
But storing image in db is not recommended and it will not support in IE6 & 7.
