Hi,

I want to insert image to a table. the query run with any problem but the record in table of image and name will be empty.
when I print the value of image and name
[php] $image= addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES[‘image’][‘tmp_name’]));
$name = addslashes($_FILES[‘image’][‘name’]);
echo $image;
echo $name;[/php]

I get this error

Just don’t store the image in the database. Store the location of the file instead.
