Hi there,

how would I save an image to the database with FuelPHP? I don't want to do the hassle of creating my own storing system on the server, but instead using a blob.
I know how to do on my own in PHP. But I guess that you folks have implemented a rather easy way to do it.

Any help would be much appreciated, or hint, or direction.

Isn't that a value as any other? The DB layer doesn't care what you want to save...

Well yes, I expected so. But as I am still at my early days or years in using PHP I was filing in the src-tag by giving it the data. Which doesn't work here.

Html::img($image->data);

is what I'm using.

I am saving the data by using the (rather complicated way and somehow wrong way):

$iData = $_FILES['data']['tmp_name'];
$ih = fopen($iData, 'r');
$data = addslashes(fread($ih, filesize($iData)));
fclose($ih);

$image = Model_Image::forge(array(
                    ...
                    'data' => $data,
                    ));

If this is about uploading files, have you checked out the Upload class? And the Image class for loading and manipulating image files?

Yes... it was late for me and I forgot how to write (and google). Never mind. I'll ask later if I have any more questions.

But thanks.
