Hi

 

Now I don't mean saving the whole array, only number, say 3. How would you do that?

 

My code so far: 

    // DATABASE CONNECTION /////////////////////////////////////
    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "root";
    $password = "Fun";
    $dbname = "visited";

    // Create connection
    $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
    // Check connection
    if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    }
    $dateValue = date('d-m-Y H:i:s');
    $sql = "INSERT INTO latest (timestamp, vehicleid, img) VALUES ('$dateValue', '$vehicle->VehicleId', '$vehicle->Pictures[0]')";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "New record created successfully";
    } else {
    echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
    }

    $conn->close();

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

But it only inserts "Array()" into to the MYSQL...

Not sure if this is what you were looking for but it's what I used when I used MySQLi  to upload an image: 


$image = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_FILES['image']['name']);
  	// image file directory
  	$target = "images/".basename($image);
  	    if(!empty($_FILES['image']['name'])) {
    $sql = "UPDATE table SET image='".$image."'"; 
  	}
     $result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);

  	if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
  		$msg = "Image uploaded successfully";
  	}else{
  		$msg = "Failed to upload image";
  	}
  	
     if(!$result){ 
        die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
     } else{ 
            
       $message = ' - <i class="fa fa-check text-success"> Record Updated!</i>';

    } 
    }

}

I know it's not an INSERT but the image upload script should still work.

Sorry if this is not what you are looking for.

BTW: go to PDO. It's more fun.

Actually storing images in a table is not a good idea.  Better to store a link to the images wherever they are saved.  Maybe create a folder for them and simply save the path in a static place and the image names in the table.  Storing the path in the table leads to problems should you ever have to move the image folder. Storing the images in the table just adds bloat to the table.

The array contains url's to the images, so I do not need to upload any images... The data is a JSON url...

 

The whole code: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Look at car</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/style-show-room.css">
</head>

<body>

    <div class="container">

    <?php
    $id = $_GET['VehicleId'];

    $url = 'https://gw.bilinfo.net/listingapi/api/export';

    // provide your username and password here
    $auth = base64_encode("demo:ocfB6XzF73");

    // create HTTP context with basic auth
    $context = stream_context_create([
        'http' => ['header' => "Authorization: Basic $auth"]
    ]);

    // query for data
    $data = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
    // $escaped = json_encode($data);
    $escaped = json_decode($data); //, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT

    /*Initializing temp variable to design table dynamically*/
    $temp = "<table class='car-list'>";

    /*Defining table Column headers depending upon JSON records*/
   /*Dynamically generating rows & columns*/
    foreach ($escaped->Vehicles as $vehicle) {

        if($vehicle->VehicleId == $id) {
        
    // DATABASE CONNECTION /////////////////////////////////////
    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "root";
    $password = "Wichmand14";
    $dbname = "visited";

    // Create connection

    if ($conn->connect_error) {

I found the solution...

To make the picture a variable: 

    $imgUrl = $vehicle->Pictures[1];
    $sql = "INSERT INTO latest (timestamp, vehicleid, img) VALUES ('$dateValue', '$vehicle->VehicleId', '$imgUrl')";
