i am new to this forum. i am able to add image file(a.jpg) to mysql databse. when i see the file in a databse . i could see the file.but when i try to retrive that file ia m getting error.can anybody help me

thanks

how are you saving the image? Are you just saving the image name or are you saving the image data?

What type of database field are you using to save the image? text, blob, varchar?

what code are you using to retrieve the image?

where are you getting the error? in your php? or are you just not showing the image after you retrieve it?

hi

my database data



my html page to upload file to database




submiting this to mysql databse



now the problem is i need to retrive this file(files are image).how to retrive these image files

thanks for reply

You can go to this site in which give you the idea of uploading and downloading files to/from database.
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/php-mysql-upload.php

However, since the file is an image file. I suggest that you use the method of uploading and downloading files to/from file server where any files you uploaded will be stored on a folder at the server and the link is stored in the database. It will be making the database bulky and format conversion error when storing files in database. Below are the example for uploading and downloading files to file server. You can refer it:
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/up...ile-server.php

Hope it helps.

change database as u have and write your filename at next and previous.i think it will work for you because it worked at my side.

Since you have the image data in a blob field, you can display the image just by echoing the blob data in your PHP script. (send the binary blog data to HTTP).

You'll just have to send the correct HTTP headers telling the browser that this is an image.


where png is the image type.

If you want to resize the image into a thumbnail, you can manipulate the blob data just as you would image data, since that is what it is. You need a library such as GD2 or imagemagik.

hiiiii I give you code that are worked .it used to retrive images from database in form of thumbnail with paging facility.......for this you make a folder upload and inside upload you make folder profile_img.in this folder you make 2 folder 110x80 and 800x600 in which images are stored in different size.you should change your database name and other things as you want.


here is code
