Re: (OT!) help with PHP/SQL
Hi, first: your question is off-topic in this mailing list! Please move to a mailing list dealing with database (MySQL?) questions. The correct data type for binary data (like an image is) in most cases will be the Binary Large OBject - "BLOB". But it may differ depending on your database engine. For finding out how to put the image into the database table, please use one of these PHP mailing list / phorums. Best regards, Andreas table. When I issue a CREATE table command, what attribute represents an image file? eg: CREATE TABLE SClassTable ( ?image _?

help with PHP/SQL
Hello, I got your e-mail address from a forum thread on SQL Help. I desperately need help for my class project. I need to know how to insert an image in a database table. When I issue a CREATE table command, what attribute represents an image file? eg: CREATE TABLE SClassTable ( ?image _? NOT NULL, description VARCHAR (64) DEFAULT NULL, reference INT (5) DEFAULT NULL, price VARCHAR(15), PRIMARY KEY (reference), KEY (description) Thanks in advance!
