ober Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Where are you storing the images? How are you storing them? How are you trying to get them out? Can you confirm that the upload is successful and the file is present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webtech123 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have tried storing them in BLOB's but to no success, i dont know how to store them on the server then point it to a users account.

ober Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Do not store them in the database. That's a complete waste of time and DBMS resources. When you upload them to the server, simply append an ID to the front of the filename: 1234_pic_of_my_dog.jpg Then you have a table in the database like this: user_id | media_id 1 1234 1 2345 2 8942 etc. Then when you need to display them, simply get all the ids for the user out of the table and go retrieve all the files that start with media_id_.
