Symfony - uploading images and saving as blob

Question

I'm using SF1.4 and Propel and I'm having a slight problem with trying to save images to a field in my database.

Does anyone have a small example that I could work from?

Answer 1

Keep your images in a filesystem. Is there a special reason to store images in a db ? You can store only generated filename. Because storing blobs in mysql will freeze your application. Give this task to a webserver.

Answer 2

I've had a bad experience saving images as blobs. Specially when you have to change your database engine. But if you still want to go that way. I found this useful http://oldforum.symfony-project.org/index.php/t/25699/ though its based on Doctrine.
