Question

I am new in Zend Framework and learning it. I want to upload image into my database and display that image in view page. I search lots of tutorial but no step by step guidance. Want a help. Thanks in advance.

You need to take a look on Zend_Form_Element_File in Zend documentation:

The File form element provides a mechanism for supplying file upload
fields to your form. It utilizes Zend_File_Transfer internally to
provide this functionality, and the FormFile view helper as also the
File decorator to display the form element. By default, it uses the
Http transfer adapter, which introspects the $_FILES array and allows
you to attach validators and filters. Validators and filters attached
to the form element are in turn attached to the transfer adapter.

Database side, you need to use a BLOB type to hold your image (I assume you’re using MySQL).

However, note that best practices are to store the image path in the database instead of the image itself.
At last, there are tons of tutorials out there that explains precisely how to do what you’re looking for, you just need to look for “file upload using zend element file” and you will find them!
