Muddy_Funster Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 why on earth would you want to put the actual images into your database?

Tweezy Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 You have wrapped it in <?php ?> tags right? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280274-error-in-uploading-image-in-database/#findComment-1441229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbraCadaver Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 "insert into product_images values (1, '$image_name', '$image')" Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280274-error-in-uploading-image-in-database/#findComment-1441415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAM Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You are also going to have to escape the data. See mysql_real_escape_string. You need to escape the filename as well. Other things to consider: 1) The mysql_ extension has been depricated. New development should use the improved version: mysqli. 2) Storing the actual image in a database is generally not very beneficial.
