Code Igniter - How to Save Images to Database
I am using codeIgniter to upload files to folders on the server. Now I also want to store the data in the database, what do I need to get the raw data and then store it in the database?
Here's the model for saving files:
<?php
class files extends ci_Model{
function saves($filename, $filedata, $post_id){
$this->db->query("INSERT INTO tbl_files SET file_data='$filedata', filename='$filename', postid='$post_id'");
}
}
?>
This is how I call it from the boot controller:
$filename = $data['upload_data']['file_name'];
$file_data = file_get_contents($data['upload_data']['file_name']);
$this->load->model('files');
$this->files->saves($filename, $file_data, 'ID1');
Table structure:
- file_data (LONG BLOB)
- filename (VARCHAR)

Keeping track is the best method. But if you want to try ....
This is the same as in PHP or CodeIgniter,
I'd rather give you a link and then write the code here: http://www.techcubetalk.com/2009/01/tutorial-on-how-to-store-images-in-mysql-blob-field/

Try it, it works on my code
function _save($id = null){
$config['upload_path'] = './asset/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg';
$config['max_size'] = '1000';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$config['encrypt_name'] = TRUE;
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if($_POST || $_FILES){
if(!$this->upload->do_upload('field_input_name')){
echo $this->upload->display_errors('<p>', '</p>');
} else {
$w = $this->upload->data();
$data = array(
'field_input_name' => $w['file_name'],
);
$this->db->insert('table_image', $data);
}
}
}
