hello guys, im so so newbie.. i have startet from scratch with codeigniter and grocery due a work project.

 

i have a gocery crud flexgrid table in order to register incoming/outcoming building visitors.

.

we store all personal information (name, surname, office, contact, etc etc etc and his photo) into a database and we want to store a picture o these people into database but as you know 

 

$crud->set_field_upload('field','assets/uploads/files') 

 

just store reference info not the file (picture)

 

there is any way to do it from grocery crud?

 

Soft versions:

====================================

CodeIgniter v3.1.9

GroceryCrud v1.6.1

database: mysql - > database field is long blob

 

 

thank you in advance for all your help, i hope understand all info you give me.

 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. YES Y DO, BUT I WANT TO STORE A FILE IN MY DATABASE AND GROCERYCRUD ONLY STORE FILE NAME AND UPLOAD THE FILE TO A DIRECTORY AT SERVER.

I WILL KEEP LOOKING FOR A WAY TO STORE A FILE..

Ok, but inside this callback, you can do something like this:

 

 

 

function example_callback_before_upload($files_to_upload,$field_info)
{

  

 

  $photo = base64_encode(fread(fopen($files_to_upload[$field_info->encrypted_field_name]['tmp_name'], "r")));

 

  // Here you can do something to change the name of file into blob in order to save it on db

 

  $files_to_upload[$field_info->encrypted_field_name]['name'] = $photo;  //example!

 

 

}

 

If callback before upload doesn´t work, try with callbak after upload

You can't upload the file directly into the database

I think it is better to store the image in a folder than in the database, I usually had problems in the database because it becomes very large and usually gives problems.
