[PHP-DB] Images and MySQL - please help
Hi, I am trying to do this: - I have an image stored in database 'A' - a php script should load this image, and stamp it with a watermark - then the php script should save the new image (with the watermark) in database 'B' ... How can I do this? I guess somehow I have to buffer the output, manipulate the buffer by adding the watermark, and then insert the image into the database. Is this possible? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi DrTebi, fetch the image from database A and put it into a buffer then I guess somehow I have to buffer the output, manipulate the buffer by adding the watermark, and then insert the image into the database B ^^ Regards, Ruprecht -- E-Mail: Ruprecht Helms [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 17-Apr-02 Time: 10:41:33 to be informed - http://www.rheyn.de - This message was sent by XFMail -- -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] Images on MySQL
In my experience storing images on disk is simpler, easier and not messy. I wouldn't think of storing binaries in a MySQL table...It just doesn't seem right, but then again I have never tested this, only relied on my peers telling me It's not right ;) -Lasse - Original Message - From: Clever [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 12:35 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] Images on MySQL Hi, I'm designing a site and I have to store a lot of images.

Re: [PHP-DB] Images on MySQL
I keep hearing this from people (not to store images in mysql), but I would like to hear a bit more about why. Mysql has blob fields, so it seems perfectly reasonable to use them, doesn't it? I'm storing some images in a database and what's attractive to me about it is that I can put the images anywhere I like. I guess I could mount an image directory over NFS, but it seems easier and more consistent to use sql. Any thoughts on this? -Steve On Friday, March 29, 2002, at 05:43 AM, Jason Wong wrote: On Thursday 28 March 2002 19:35, Clever wrote: Hi, I'm designing a site and I have to store a lot of images.
