I wanna ask how can we upload picture to database?

Have you successfully been able to upload files to your webserver? If not, there's a tutorial in the PHP manual online:
  http://www.php.net/features.file-upload

If you're just having problem inserting the file data into a database, I suggest you read this similar thread:

I would like to suggest you rethink your strategy. I'm assuming you're using MySQL for your database (as most PHP programmers tend to use this). Databases aren't built for storing binary data in this way and, if you're expecting any decent amount of traffic, it may even noticably slow down your site.

This is what filesystems are made for.

I'd suggest storing a pathname to the actual image in the database, and then either:

a) doing a header('Content-type: image/image-type'); passthru($path_to_image); (this only if the images are outside your web document root). This script would then be referenced in an img tag.

or

b) storing the paths as relative to your web document root and including them in img tags.



Kind regards,

Hi Devon,
I would agree to a certain degree. There are also advantages to this approach.

You don't have to deal with inconsistencies when storing in a db.
You have better access control.
It seems to be in line with relational db theory

I don't know if this can be applied fully for MySQL, but an in depth explanation of using BLOB's in a DB (MS SQL Server) can be found here

Have fun!
