Bagaimana saya bisa menyimpan dan mengambil gambar dari database MySQL menggunakan PHP?

Pertama Anda membuat tabel MySQL untuk menyimpan gambar, seperti misalnya:

create table testblob (
    image_id        tinyint(3)  not null default '0',
    image_type      varchar(25) not null default '',
    image           blob        not null,
    image_size      varchar(25) not null default '',
    image_ctgy      varchar(25) not null default '',
    image_name      varchar(50) not null default ''
);

Kemudian Anda dapat menulis gambar ke database seperti:

/***
 * All of the below MySQL_ commands can be easily
 * translated to MySQLi_ with the additions as commented
 ***/ 
$imgData = file_get_contents($filename);
$size = getimagesize($filename);
mysql_connect("localhost", "$username", "$password");
mysql_select_db ("$dbname");
// mysqli 
// $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", $username, $password,$dbname); 
$sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO testblob
    (image_type, image, image_size, image_name)
    VALUES
    ('%s', '%s', '%d', '%s')",
    /***
     * For all mysqli_ functions below, the syntax is:
     * mysqli_whartever($link, $functionContents); 
     ***/
    mysql_real_escape_string($size['mime']),
    mysql_real_escape_string($imgData),
    $size[3],
    mysql_real_escape_string($_FILES['userfile']['name'])
    );
mysql_query($sql);

Anda dapat menampilkan gambar dari database di halaman web dengan:

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");
mysql_select_db("testblob");
$sql = "SELECT image FROM testblob WHERE image_id=0";
$result = mysql_query("$sql");
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
echo mysql_result($result, 0);
mysql_close($link);
