web image to mysql via PHP?

[acee12345]

Purpose:

The following is some very rough code in the attempt to grab images off google search and shove them in a mysql database. This is Just a test run for a learning algorithm. Final will not keep images, just scan them

 

State of code:

So far code works to the point that it will grab images and put the URL in the database then display the images(not extracted from database).

 

Need:

I would like to put the images themselves in the database but cannot find a successful way to do so. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

 <?php
               
                        // get list of images from google images
                         // Create MySQL login values and
                // set them to your login information.
                $username = "*******";
                $password = "**********";
                $host = "*******";
                $database = "binary";
               
                // Make the connect to MySQL or die
                // and display an error.
                $link = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
                if (!$link) {
                        die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
                }
               
                // Select your database
                mysql_select_db ($database);  
                       
                       
                $k='*****some query****';
                $url = "http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=1920&bih=859&q=##query##&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=";
                $web_page = file_get_contents( str_replace("##query##",urlencode($k), $url ));

                $tieni = stristr($web_page,"dyn.setResults(");
                $tieni = str_replace( "dyn.setResults(","", str_replace(stristr($tieni,");"),"",$tieni) );
                $tieni = str_replace("[]","",$tieni);
                $m = preg_split("/[\[\]]/",$tieni);
                $x = array();
                for($i=0;$i<count($m);$i++) {
                        $m[$i] = str_replace("/imgres?imgurl\\x3d","",$m[$i]);
                        $m[$i] = str_replace(stristr($m[$i],"\\x26imgrefurl"),"",$m[$i]);
                        $m[$i] = preg_replace("/^\"/i","",$m[$i]);
                        $m[$i] = preg_replace("/^,/i","",$m[$i]);
                        if ($m[$i]!="")
                        {
                                $tmpName = $m[$i];
                               
                                // Create the query and insert
                                // into our database.
                                $query = "INSERT INTO tbl_images ";
                                $query .= "(image) VALUES ('$tmpName')";
                                $results = mysql_query($query, $link);
                                //
                                echo "<img src='".$m[$i]."' />";
                                array_push($x,$m[$i]);
                        }
                       
                }
            $ar = $x;
        ?>

    * your MySQL server version --5.1.50

 

    * the raw MySQL statement in question [in a CODE block, and without any PHP variables]

     

  INSERT INTO tbl_images ##image## VALUES ##URL## ;

                    -currently the URL is being put in the database but I would like to put the whole image file in it.

 

    * the table structure & column indexes of the relevant tables [via SHOW CREATE TABLE is preferred]

CREATE TABLE `tbl_images` (
    `id` TINYINT(3) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `image` BLOB NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

Is my format incorrect?

Is my format incorrect?

Yes -- echo the actual query, not with placeholders.
