Hi folks, my first time in the forum so thanks to all in advance. I want to build a website which is able to search a collection of images I have collected. I want to be able to search by date, topic, name. Is there an affordable and out of the box method for doing this? If there isn't, can someone recommend how I might go about doing this.
Again thanks for all replies

Hi Au, welcome to the forums! Smiling

You could use one of the many photo galleries out there. Check out Gallery or Zenphoto. Both those should allow searching.

if your question is about how to store images in database then my suggestion is do not store images in database. because your database will become bulky. it is better to store them in different
folder.and only store name in database.

in php & mysql
use this command to create database :

CREATE TABLE `imagesdb` (
`ID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`photdata` LONGTEXT NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `ID` )
);

use this command in php to encrypt the image :
// filename
$finalimage = chunk_split(base64_encode($filename));
$sql = "INSERT INTO imagesdb SET photo='$finalimage";
mysql_query($sql);
?>

use this command in php to decrypt the image :

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$thenewimage= $row["photo"];
echo base64_decode($thenewimage);
} ?>

SQL statements to create the database you need:

create database files;
use files;

CREATE TABLE files (
id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
shortName varchar(50) default NULL,
mimeType varchar(30) default NULL,
mimeName varchar(50) default NULL,
fileContents blob,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

storing images in a mysql database.

$handle = fopen("testpic.jpg", "rb");
$img = fread($handle, filesize('testpic.jpg'));
fclose($handle);
//die($img);

$img = base64_encode($img);

database_connect
('localhost', 'root', 'admin', 'img_test', &$db_selected, &$connection);

$sql = "insert into pictures values(null,'$img','jpg','female')";

mysql_query($sql) or die('Bad Query at 12');

echo "Success! You have inserted your picture!";
?>
