从远程服务器 PHP 上传图片到 MySQL

Question

I have an upload form. After the upload form, I have this code in PHP:

$filename    = $_FILES["photo"]["tmp_name"];
$destination = "hr/upload/" . $_FILES["photo"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($filename, $destination);

$_SESSION['FORM_image'] = $destination;

This code uploads the photo on the destination directory and inserts the path in a session variable.

Now, I want to upload this photo (the uploaded photo) in a MySQL database but my attempts fail.

I tried to use functions like fopen() and similar, but it still not working.

UPDATE: Sorry, perhaps I have not explained well: the upload form and the upload on MySQL are two separated actions. The form uploads the photo on the remote directory. Then I want to "move" this photo from the remote directory to MySQL database.

Can anyone helps me?

Answer 1

$myFile = "your file link goes here".
//You open file
$fileResource = fopen($myFile, "r");
//You read it and save data into $fileData variable
$fileData = fread($fileResource, filesize($myFile));
$fileData = stripslashes($fileData);
fclose($fileResource);

After that you insert that into database. Consider that $fileData should be inserted into column that has format -> Blob.

Answer 2

If you want to store the actual image into the DB , you can use the datatype BLOB for the image field.

If only path , you can use varchar
