PHP Storing/Retrieving image names in MySQL DB - php

Question

I am currently working on a multiple image uploader with file directory. I am wanting to store file name inside my MySQL.
How can I store these variables(image names) inside my table through php ?
How can I retrieve the variables through php?
URL Generate by uploader:
http://www.website.com/imageupload/index.php?i=4ff4bfd02c241.jpg
http://www.website.com/imageupload/index.php?i=4ff4bfd02c242.jpg
Filename:
4ff4bfd02c241.jpg
4ff4bfd02c242.jpg
Table Name: urlimage
id: autoincrement
image_name
I am able to echo out the path and the name through this:
$images = explode(',', $_GET['i']);
$path = Configuration::getUploadUrlPath('medium', 'target');
foreach ($images as $image) {
echo '<div><p>' . $path . $image . '</p><img src="' . $path . $image . '" /></div>';
}
?>

Answer 1

$images = explode(',', $_GET['i']);
$path = Configuration::getUploadUrlPath('medium', 'target');
if(is_array($images)){
$sql = "INSERT INTO `urlimage` (`image_name`) VALUES ";
foreach ($images as $image) {
//echo '<div><p>' . $path . $image . '</p><img src="' . $path . $image . '" /></div>';
$value[] = "(".$path.$image.")"; // collect imagenames
}
$sql .= implode(',', $value).";"; //build query
//don't know how you send queries, you should use a kind of mysqli-functionality
queryfunction($sql);
}
Addiontally: you should think of using $_POST rather than $_GET becaus there's a length limit depending on the browser (some of them cut URLs after 255 chars).
Also never put in userdefined content directly into you DB. You'll need some kind of escaping ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php ).
