Blob column

Blob column

Hello,
I work with MySQL 5.1.37 / PHP 5.3.0, Dreamweaver CS4.
I inserted a new column, a blob, in my table. When I enter in Data Wizard Assist me he returns a generic error MySql, but Dreamweaver connection sees the new column. I have deleted the column and everything works again. Why? I need This column to store photos in a catalog.

I don't recommend storing images in the database. It's better to store the file names of the images and keep the images out of the database.

Maurizio,

I would second the opinion of the Office Guy... you are heading for troubled waters with that method. Add a folder to your site to store all the images and files and you'll be happy you did.

Cheers,

Brian

Just create a text field instead of a blob. Create a folder for the images.

Example:

You have a folder called photos containing an image called photo1.jpg
In your table, you have a column called photo. In this column you store the name photo1.jpg

To display the image, you add the path to the folder containing the images.
<img id="ProductImage" src="photos/<?php echo $row_WADAProducts['photo']; ?>" />
