I was already successful in inserting an image file to a database using the following code:
Code:
//Controller
$config['upload_path'] = 'uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload()){
echo 'error uploading file!';
}else{
echo 'success uploading file!';
//Insert file to database.
$file_info = $this->upload->data();
$file_name = $file_info['full_path'];
$image_file = addslashes(fread(fopen($file_name, "r"), filesize($file_name)));
$this->dbc->img_to_db($image_file);
}
//Model
//I only have two fields in my images table, id and image
function img_to_db($image_file){
$sql = "INSERT INTO images (image) VALUES (?)";
$query = $this->db->query($sql, array($image_file));
}
When I tried to retrieve the image, using this code:
Code:
//View
<img src="<? echo base_url(); ?>view_img" />
//View_img Controller
function index(){
header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); //I tried image/jpg, still didn't work.
$image_file = $this->dbc->get_img_from_db(1); //Fixed value for now, just to test it
echo $image_file->image; //Print or echo?
}
//Model
function get_img_from_db($image_id = 1){
$sql = "SELECT image FROM images WHERE id = ?";
$query = $this->db->query($sql, array($image_id));
return $query->row();
}
..all I get is a broken image icon. Is there something wrong with what I am doing? If I removed the call to the header function in the controller, I was able to see the weird characters, which I assume is the image in a format that can be stored in the database.
