How to map upload.php and my table information

[eluser]jaswinder_rana[/eluser]
I am using upload.php library class to upload files. it's working. Now I want to insert the data returned from upload class into a table.

Data returned is

Code:

* file_name:
    * file_type:
    * file_path:
    * full_path:
    * raw_name:
    * orig_name:
    * file_ext:
    * file_size:
    * is_image:
    * image_width:
    * image_height:
    * image_type:
    * image_size_str:

My columns do NOT have the same name as the fields returned. I can change it but I was wondering (in case) I was not able to change it then how can I pass data to my model?

- Should I create an array with same index as column names, give it values and then pass it to model

- Should I pass above data and then create new array in model?

- I can also (as mentioned) change my column names and then just pass above array and have it store the information (Assuming all sanitizing/cleaning (which I am still not sure about)) is done by db class

EDIT: If I do rename my columns then how will I manage column types (some are int and some varchar)? Do I have to make all columns varchar?



Thanks
