I am looking for a very basic image uploader script. Just one that uploads the image to a folder and stores the filename in a mysql database.
Is there any small easy to intergrate scripts anyone know of?
Thank you for the help
This tutorial does what you want http://php.about.com/od/phpwithmysql/ss/Upload_file_sql.htm in addition stores some extra metadata in the same table (employee details) along with the filename (photo)
Images can be saved as blob types in a database
You have to create a form with a browse button (google it)
You have to create your table with the a field of type blob
That's it.

I have uploaded and stored multiple images at a time in a MySQL database using jQuery and PHP. This time I am storing image name in database and uploads file in a folder at server.
Now, I want to retrieve image name from database and preview this image and also want to provide actions of delete and add images.
Can anyone help me out on this issue?
Here is my steps:
Create a php file
Connect to mysql database
Select the table where the images was saved.
Loop the query.
Add delete query.
Hope this helps.
I am new to ci. I have seen the documentation for file uploader and
implemented the sample page. But I want to upload the image and store it into MySQL database.
Can anyone provide solution for it with example?
Upload the image to a folder called uploads and then store the path to the image in your DB
I'm using PHP and MySQL, and don't know where to start with how to set up profile pictures.
It seems all other user data can be held in the mysql table, but I don't think I can put pictures into a mysql table. So how do profile pictures generally work?
You can put pictures in a database (using a BLOB field), but I wouldn't, due to the performance hit.
Store the images on the filesystem with PHP, and just store the ID of the picture in the database.
I think that what is usually done is set up an upload system for users to upload their images. You just have to link this image with the user by naming it with something like a user ID.
Then you just have to store a link to the uploaded picture in your database, this way you could also imagine allowing user to use remote images although this might not be a good idea.
But as said, the MySQL BLOB field allows storing pictures.
I've got the PyroStreams module for PyroCMS and made a stream called portfolio. Everything is working as expected, however it only allows to upload just one image for my file field. That is obvious, but I'd like to know if there's a way to upload multiple images for one stream entry without adding x number of extra file fields. Or do I need to code an extra field type myself to support this? Maybe someone's got it already?
Thanks
According to me you have to create a separate database table that will hold all the images those are related to particular portfolio and the portfolio id by id by which you can fetch the images for particular record and then use any multiple image upload library like http://www.plupload.com/example_queuewidget.php to upload multiple images in the portfolio image table. Hopefully this will help you in achieving what you want.
There's a multi-upload files field type available on the pyrostore.
i just wanna ask on how to make a simple gallery for my website wherein the images used to display are from database and will automatically display on the gallery? so that when i have to update the images i won't enormously create thumbnails..??
I would recommend against keeping the image data in a database, it's almost always a bad idea.
I would recommend storing metadata about the images in the database and then including a pointer to the file (the image's path on the local filesystem). If you need to make thumbnails create them as the images are added, store them on the filesystem too and store the path to them in the table too.
Another approach is to have the filename of the image and thumbnail as a function of the image ID. E.g. store it on the server at /some/directory/images/123.jpg and /some/directory/images/123_thumbnail.jpg where 123 is the id of the image.
use mysql BLOB storage - Example: http://www.anyexample.com/programming/php/php_mysql_example__image_gallery_%28blob_storage%29.xml
You can create the thumbnails and update the database when the images are uploaded to a directory within your http path. A simple php routine can extract the picture names from the db and include them in your gallery.
