Question

I am currently working on a multiple image uploader with file directory. I am wanting to store file name inside my MySQL.

How can I store these variables(image names) inside my table through php ?

How can I retrieve the variables through php?

URL Generate by uploader:

• http://www.website.com/imageupload/index.php?i=4ff4bfd02c241.jpg
• http://www.website.com/imageupload/index.php?i=4ff4bfd02c242.jpg

Filename:

• 4ff4bfd02c241.jpg
• 4ff4bfd02c242.jpg

Table Name: urlimage

id: autoincrement
image_name

I am able to echo out the path and the name through this:

$images = explode(',', $_GET['i']);

$path = Configuration::getUploadUrlPath('medium', 'target');

foreach ($images as $image) {

    echo '<div><p>' . $path . $image . '</p><img src="' . $path . $image . '" /></div>';
}

?>

Answer 1

$images = explode(',', $_GET['i']);

$path = Configuration::getUploadUrlPath('medium', 'target');


if(is_array($images)){

  $sql = "INSERT INTO `urlimage` (`image_name`) VALUES ";

  foreach ($images as $image) {

    //echo '<div><p>' . $path . $image . '</p><img src="' . $path . $image . '" /></div>';
    $value[] = "(".$path.$image.")"; // collect imagenames
  }

  $sql .= implode(',', $value).";"; //build query

  //don't know how you send queries, you should use a kind of mysqli-functionality
  queryfunction($sql);   
}

Addiontally: you should think of using $_POST rather than $_GET becaus there’s a length limit depending on the browser (some of them cut URLs after 255 chars).
Also never put in userdefined content directly into you DB. You’ll need some kind of escaping ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php ).
