PDO and Image Resizing

[jackbravo]

Hi all

I'm trying to get a script to resize an image and then save it to MySQL using PHP PDO.
After resizing an image one normally uses [b]imagejpeg[/b] to either display the image directly in the browser or save it to a file.
But I want to save it on the database, without having to store it on a temporary file.

The extra problem resides in that PDO uses streams to transfer LOBs to the database [url=http://www.php.net/pdo#AEN148731]http://www.php.net/pdo#AEN148731[/url]. So I dont think i can do something like:
[code]ob_start();
imagejpeg($resource);
$image = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$stmt = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO image ( ? )');
$stmt->execute($image);[/code]
