[SOLVED] Reading files stored in mysql

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

when a user uploads to my site they can upload doc files and i store the doc files in a docs folder and store:

 

file.doc in the database, when i try to read the file it only displays the filename and not the content here my code:

 

     $filename = "docs/$docs"; 
     $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); 
     $contents = fread ($fd, filesize($filename)); 
     fclose ($fd);
     
     echo $doc;  

 

amy help would be appreciated

$fd = fopen($filename, 'r') or die("Can't Open File");
$contents = fgets($fd);
fclose($fd);
echo $contents;

You can simply use file_get_contents()...

Hi Mate,

 

heres my code:

 

     $query = "SELECT * FROM `nfos` WHERE `id`='$id'";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) or die (mysql_error());
    
    // get the nfo file...//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    $nfo = $row['nfo'];
    
    //$filename = "nfos/$nfo"; // This is at root of the file using this script.
    //$fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); // opening the file in read mode.
    //$contents = fread ($fd, filesize($filename)); // reading the content of the file.
    //fclose ($fd);
    
    $fd = fopen($nfo, "are") or die ("Can't Open File");
    $contents = fgets($fd);
    fclose($fd);
    echo $contents;
    
    //echo $nfo; 
    echo "<br /><br />";  

 

i have tried .nfo and .doc files they both seem to ech out the name of the file rather than the contents, is it maybe my coding?
