Blobbing data

Re: Blobbing data with PHP and MySQL

Hi

I have just started to learn about PHP and MySQL, and I´m trying to run a script collection that Mr. Michell Harper wrote ( "Blobbing data with PHP and MySQL" ArticleId 68)

But I have a little problem.

I´m using a IBM ThinkPad whith win2000 and IIS 5.0, PHP 4, MySQL. (I use PHPMyAdmin without problems)

When I try to store a file in the myFiles database, it doesn´t work. I can´t get furter than "You must enter both description and file" allthough I had done that.

I think it´s a problem whith my php settings, because I can´t find the temporary file that PHP should generate in c:\WINNT\TEMP

I have a ZIP file with info about PHP settings and database info, that I can send to anyone interested.

If it´s possible, I would be very thankful for assistance in this matter.

you must change the temp file to something else. like for example C:\PHP\TEMP DON'T use the windows temp directory cause it sucks. what version of php do you have. do you see the following in your php.ini file.................



if not copy this and paste it in your php.ini file k. hope this helps...

In the first text, you wrote c:/php/temp and in the php.ini file you wrote chptemp ??

any way...

I created a phptemp folder in the c: directory and wrote c:/phptemp in the php.ini file, but it still doesn«t work.

Do you have any other suggestions?

C:\PHP\TEMP is what i meant so change your settings accordingly. also what version of php are you running?

what is your open_basedir and safemode settings in php? you should comment the open_basedir line out like this:

; open_basedir =

same with safe mode

; safe_mode =

that should then work fine. you may also need to restart IIS with start -> run -> cmd -> iisreset

My PHP version is 4.0.6

I´m attaching the php.ini file

the line is perfect now under your php folder whatever it is named be sure to create a folder called temp k. next whatever your php folder is called for example if it named php4.1.1 then go to your php.ini file and where it says upload_tmp_dir = put c:\php4.1.1\temp or whatever your main php folder is called. if that still doesn't work then maybe you need to upgrade to php4.2.0 hope this helps....

I had trouble getting it to work. I went to www.tek-tips.com and someone helped me iron out all the problems I was having. I really appreciate this forum and the original article. I learned so much from it! Here is the link to the tek-tips thread which helped me get it to work the way I needed it to:
