How to Load Image from File to Store in ByteA Field?

Hi

> How to Load Image from File to Store in ByteA Field?
This is the way I store images with PHP. The column bild has the
datatype bytea.

function esc_bytea($imagedata) {
$finde = array(chr(92), chr(0), chr(39));
$ersetze = array('\\\134', '\\\000', '\\\047');
$esc = str_replace($finde[0], $ersetze[0], $imagedata);
$esc = str_replace($finde[1], $ersetze[1], $esc);
$esc = str_replace($finde[2], $ersetze[2], $esc);
return $esc;
}

$fp = fopen($imagefile,"r");
$contents = fread($fp, filesize($imagefile));
fclose($fp);
$esc_daten = esc_bytea($contents);

$sql = "INSERT INTO byteatest (bild, name, size, typ, htmlstr) ";
$sql .= "values ('$esc_daten', '$name', $size, '$typ',
'$htmlstr');";
$res = @pg_exec($sql) or die ("Fehler bei der
Datenbankabfrage.");

Any modern version of PHP which has pg_ specific functions can do it
like this:

$string = pg_escape_bytea(file_get_contents($filename));
pg_query("INSERT INTO TABLE pictures (picture_bytea) VALUES
('$string');");

I prefer to use pg_escape() rather than code my own escape.

You are 100% right.
My application had to run with PHP below 4.2 where pg_escape_bytea()
was not yet defined. And it works also with higher PHP versions ;-)

Up to about 1 gig (theoretically 2 gig max but encoding might take up some
space.)
