Image Upload

[Danny620]

Hello

 

i need to know how to create a script that can get someones picture from a file or db and display it like a avatar.

 

this is what i think i will do please corrent me if i am wrong

build a image up-loader when the image is uploaded store it in a var and the insert it into the db using a username from a log-in session. << that's the one i think will work but i don't have a clue about the file method where it gets uploaded to a file on the server and then is displayed when the user is logged in.

options

#1. upload image to a folder, rename it to the usersID.jpg then have a field in the uers table called avatar set to usersID.jpg

#2. store the image in a blob in the database and then create a php file to emulate the image, ie

<?php
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
//connect to database
$SQL = sprintf("SELECT Image FROM table WHERE userid=%d LIMIT 1",$_GET['id']);
$r = mysql_query($SQL);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($r);
echo $row['Images'];
?>

Yes.  In fact, one of the better ways.
