I have php code that takes text input from a webpage and and stores it in a mysql data base.
I tried uploading small images (jpg) using basically the same syntax but they don't make it into the data base.
Does anyone know of a simple tutorial that shows how to do this?
although I'm against storing files in databases...
$file =
mysql_real_escape_string(file_get_contents($_FILES['yourfile']['tmp_name']));
$query = "INSERT INTO yourtable (imgdata) VALUES ('$file')";
Thanks, that seems to work. Although trying to retrieve them and show them in a
browser shows characters / symbols instead. This
kind of stuff:

Another reason for not storing images in a database - you need to spit
out the correct set of headers before you send the actual image data.
