This is a simple example of photo-gallery script, which uses MySQL table (BLOB field) to store images. Trivial password-protection, uploading and deleting images are supported.
There are three main parts of the script:
Create MySQL / SQL Table
You can use any name for this table, just change $table variable at the begining of the image gallery code.
We use following functions in this example:
MySQL
There are three main parts of the script:
- main page generation --
generates HTML code for the list of uploaded photos, forms for photo deletion and uploading
- image uploading --
processes POST request: checks password, uploads photo to database or deletes it
- image showing --
Fetches image information from MySQL database and sends image do browser. If PHP is installed as mod_php (for Apache), does If-Modified-Since HTTP header checking.
Create MySQL / SQL Table
/* Online PHP Examples with Source Code website: http://4evertutorials.blogspot.in/ */ CREATE TABLE `gallery` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `title` varchar(64) character SET utf8 NOT NULL, `ext` varchar(8) character SET utf8 NOT NULL, `image_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, `data` mediumblob NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) );
You can use any name for this table, just change $table variable at the begining of the image gallery code.
We use following functions in this example:
MySQL
- mysql_connect - connects to MySQL server
- mysql_select_db - select database
- mysql_query - send query
- mysql_fetch_row - get current row from result table
- mysql_real_escape_string - escaping string to use it in MySQL query
- mysql_num_fields - get number of rows
- get_magic_quotes_gpc - checking if PHP add slashes before quotes in input parameters
- stripslashes - remove odd slashes
- trim - remove unnecessary spaces in the beginning and ending of string
- getimagesize - return image information as an array. Third element of array -- image type.
- file_get_contents - loads whole file into memory
- php_sapi_name - returns the name of PHP Server API
- apache_request_headers - gets some special header information from Apache
- strtotime - convert textual representation of time to integer (number of seconds since 1970)
- header - sends HTTP header to browser
