Is there any documentation on how to upload multiple images straight to a mySQL database as a BLOB?

Hello Nicolas,

Unfortunately, we do not have the documentation which describes this process. However, the idea is simple. You just upload your files to some page where is placed server-side script allowing to parse HTTP POST request. You get necessary fields from POST request and save them to mySQL database.

Samples of the server-side script are in the Saving Uploaded Files in PHP.

Will the images be stored as a php parse-able array in the HTTP POST?

I am familiar with how to get the information into the database, I'm having difficulty conceptualizing how HTTP POST will make multiple files accessible as opposed to the one at a time fashion that html forms provide.

Hello,

You should set filesPerPackage property to 1. In this case, images will be uploaded in the separated POST requests, which you can handle to save images to database. It will be the same as uploading through html form.

If you have any questions please let me know.

using that method, will the file uploaded callback function (defined via setFileUploadedCallback) execute for each individual file that the uploader sends up, or just when the entirety of the files selected by the user has been uploaded?

in otherwords, would my call back function look like this:

Code:
function onFileUploaded($uploadedFile) {
  //upload individual file to database
}

or more like this?:

Code:
function onFileUploaded($uploadedFile) {
  foreach($uploadedFile as $file) {
    //upload individual file to database
  }
}

**just looking through the documentation some more, it looks like I can do it either way, per the example in this section?

Hello,

Please use the first way you show:

Code:
 function onFileUploaded($uploadedFile) {
  //upload individual file to database
}

You can also look through PHP server-side code sample on our basic demo page: just select PHP in the Platform list under Image Uploader control, and open upload.php link.

I got it. Here's how:

Assuming you have setup your mysql table as follows (This tutorial is also a good reference):

Code:

CREATE TABLE `images` (
`image_id` TINYINT( 4 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`image_type` VARCHAR( 25 ) NOT NULL ,
`image_size` VARCHAR( 25 ) NOT NULL ,
`image` MEDIUMBLOB NOT NULL ,
`image_thumb` MEDIUMBLOB NOT NULL ,
`image_title` VARCHAR( 250 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL ,
`image_caption` VARCHAR( 1000 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (image_id)
) ENGINE = MYISAM 

You can setup your upload.php like this:

Code:

<?php
require_once 'image-uploader/Includes/gallery_helper.php';
require_once 'image-uploader/UploadHandler.class.php';
 
function onFileUploaded($uploadedFile) {

	$username = "user";
	$password = "pass";
	$dbname = "name";

	function injection_proof($x) {
		$x = strip_tags($x);
		$x = htmlspecialchars($x);
		$x = addslashes($x);
		return $x;
	}
	//--title field
	$img_title = $uploadedFile->getSourceName();
	$spaces = array("-", "_");
	$img_title = str_replace($spaces, " ", $img_title);
	$filetypes = array(".jpg", ".png", ".gif", ".tif");
	$img_title = str_replace($filetypes, "", $img_title);
	$img_title = injection_proof($img_title);
	//--caption field
	$img_caption = $uploadedFile->getDescription();
	$img_caption = injection_proof($img_caption);
	//--the image	
	$img = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES[sprintf(PostFields::file, 0, $uploadedFile->getIndex())]["tmp_name"]));
	//image type
	$img_meta = getimagesize($_FILES[sprintf(PostFields::file, 0, $uploadedFile->getIndex())]["tmp_name"]);
	
	mysql_connect("localhost", "$username", "$password") OR DIE (mysql_error());
	mysql_select_db ("$dbname") OR DIE ("Unable to select db".mysql_error());
	$sql = "INSERT INTO images( image_id , image_type, image_size, image, image_thumb, image_title, image_caption) VALUES('', '{$img_meta['mime']}', '{$img_meta[3]}', '".$img."', '', '".$img_title."', '".$img_caption."')";	
	// insert the image
	if(!mysql_query($sql)) {
		echo 'Unable to upload file';
	}
}
 
$uh = new UploadHandler();
$uh->setFileUploadedCallback('onFileUploaded');
$uh->processRequest();
?>
