Store Images In MySQL


I've looked around a bit before posting this, and overall I've discovered the means to store an image in a table via blobs, and take it back out and use it with PHP. I've discovered many users giving detailed descriptions as to why this is not a good idea, and overall I agree, BUT! I've been having the PHP problem where if I upload a file and store it onto my server with a form, the permissions are set such that nobody can delete those files aside from the superuser.

I suppose this is more a PHP question, in that I am asking how I should store a file such that I can have access to delete this file later, or if I should just try to store the file in SQL?

Images MYsql And PHP
even though I'm a newbie I have managed to set up a 5000 record database and retrieve information from that database and display it in my web browser. The information currently is only text but I would like to display a photo (maybe 2 photos) along with the text info.

I have read many articles on the web about not storing images in your database that's it's better to store the URL to the image. That's fine by me I'll be glad to store them in a folder on the server.

But, in all the articles I've read I still haven't seen an expalnation on how to do this. So, can someone tell me how to the URL or hyperlink or whatever it is that will allow me to get an inage to display

Images In MySQL
I'm currently working on a site that needs to store a lot of images in the database.The database needs to be fully searchable by users, and the images need to be displayed on the site (have a look at the location search page at www.yorkshirelocations.co.uk for an idea)

I was wondering if anyone else has ever either stored actual images in the Database as a BLOB, or stored a reference to the images? if so which option would you recommend?

Alternatively has anyone ever used gallery software? I want to know if the gallery software will be able to serve the images relating to the search results from the database.

MYSQL Displaying Images
well at the moment i am making a site and what is happening is this there is a form that you fill out and submit to a database. Now with the form there is a thing to upload images, a headline form and a message form. The headline is first hten the image uploader then the message. This is the tricky part. Should i on the page with the form put an image uploader in the form page and make the image upload and reload the page with the img tags which submit to the database (Do Img tags allow you to show images in mysql?) Or does anyone know any better ways i can show the article with the image used. That way the image is still uploading to the server but the link of the image is stored in the database and can be pulled out in [img] tags (if they can be used)

how to set up tables and columns for text, numbers etc but want to know how I can include images.

I note that the MySQL manual says that the best way is not to store actual images in the database but just to store a reference to the location of the images in the file system.

What I need to know is what type of column should I use, and how should the reference be stored so that the information can be pulled from the database and into a webpage. For example do I need to store text showing the path - say ../images/product.jpg in the table?

Displaying Binary Images On Pages From Mysql?
On my site, my friend has made a news managment system, so that through mysql you can easily post news. Go to http://www.allsortshop.com/news to see.

In the /news folder i have index.php which is the main file, and article.php whcih is to display articles.

In the index.php, this is the php code that gets all the news from the database...

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE type=0 LIMIT 0 , 10");
if ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<table>
";
do {
Printf("<tr><td><b>%s</b></td></tr><tr><td>%s <a href=article.php?read=$row2[id]>more...</a></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>", $row2[title], $row2[mini], $row2[id]);
}while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}else{
echo "No News... Shocking!!!";
}
echo "</table>
";
?>

That displays news files, but it only displays an intro, then when you click more it goes to the full news article at /news/article.php?read=1

(in the article.php ive converted the id to read)

Then once on the page article.php?read=1 or read=2 depending on what id number the news article is in mysql, it then shows you the full story.

In the article.php this is the code at the very top of that page before the <html> tag...

<?php
$read = $_GET['read'];
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE id=$read");
$text = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>

Then in the <body</body> tags of the article.php page i have...

<?php
echo ("<b>".$text['title']."</b>");
echo "<p>";
echo $text['full'];
?>

Now in the mysql this is my news table...

The thing is, i want to display all the images like image.php?id=1 or whatever and then on the news page, when you click more on an article and it takes you to article.php?read=1 then on the mysql table, on the row with id = 1 in it, it has an image at the end. I want to display that image in the article.php?read=1. And then on article.php?read=2, i want it to display the image on that one too which will be located at image.php?id=2.

What Is The Best Way To Store A Date In MySQL DB?
I have a table (contacts) with a list of people I know. It holds info like email address and birthdays. Right now, I have the birthday saved across three fields- day, month, and year. The day and month fields hold values like '02' and the year field holds a four-digit number, like '2007'.

I know MySQL has a 'DATE' field type, and I would feel that is probably the best way to store the information I have.

My question is this:
I have some PHP code that checks to see if any of my contacts has a birthday today (as seen below)

$today = date("d/m");
$query = "SELECT * FROM `contacts` WHERE CONCAT(DAY,'/',MONTH) = '".$today."'";

How could I do this if I stored the date in a single, YYYYMMDD field?
