Question

I would like to ask you how can I properly stored an image both in mysql and in a folder at the moment with this code:

<?php

if (isset($_FILES['image']) && $_FILES['image']['size'] > 0) { 

          // Temporary file name stored on the server
          $tmpName  = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];  

          // Read the file 
          $fp     = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
          $data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
          $data = addslashes($data);
          fclose($fp);


          // Create the query and insert
          // into our database.
          $query = "INSERT INTO tbl_images ";
          $query .= "(images) VALUES ('$data')";
          $results = mysql_query($query, $conn);

          // Print results
          print "Thank you, your file has been uploaded.";

}
else {
   print "No image selected/uploaded";
}


if (!mysql_query($sql, $link))
   {
   die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
   }

?>'

Also how properly to display it.
My database for the images is id, images. Do I need anything more for the job or that is enough.
Thank you.

Answer 1

From the above code, image will be saved in database not in folder.
To save in folder you have to use a below code after insert query.

move_uploaded_file($tmpName,"upload/" .$filename );

here upload is folder name.
