Convert image to data

[prokhaled]

How can I convert image (jpg,gif) to data until I can save it in database

[cpradio]

I am not sure what you are asking but i would assume by using the fread() function? if that is what you are attempting...

[phpman]

just insert the image into your mysql table as a blob.

Please M.R phpman .. I want an example

Why do you want to save it to a database?

Just save the images in a folder and then save their URL in the database.

[phpman]

yes HObo has it correct. you save imges in the database and it will become huge fast.

what in the hell are you making anyway.

Then do a search on "blob." It's been asked before. I know the search is busted, so just wait a tick. I'm pretty sure life isn't going to explode if you can't put your images in a database.
