spiderwell Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 file uploading is pretty straight forward, and theres plenty of scripts out there to use. it could be saved directly into the database as a blob (binary object) or just saved to the server, which is the method i use. i would suggest the database table has an ID, event name, and image column, then when the form is submitd the file is uploaded (hopefully) successfully, then enter the event name and image filename into the database. to later pull that image, use SQL to grabthe row from the database and echo the imagename inside an html img tag bit like below. dont forget paths to where the image is stored too echo "<img src=\"" . $row['image'] . "\">"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searls03 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 how would I make it so that if the format was pdf.....it could be downloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderwell Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 same principle really only make an hlink to the pdf instead of an image tag when you want it to be downloaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
