Writing a blob from a plugin

Question

If one wants to write the contents of an image to the database (in the blobs : 'qa_blobs'), how would he do so through PHP?

Answer 1

Look at qa-app-blobs.php and its documentation here.

Great document !!

I updated this post with code, but it won't work :(! Any ideas?

Answer 2

In my plugin I use this code to write images to the database : 

//require_once '../../qa-include/qa-base.php';

require_once '../../qa-include/qa-app-blobs.php';

 

$p = $_POST;

$allowedTypes = array(IMAGETYPE_PNG, IMAGETYPE_JPEG, IMAGETYPE_GIF);

$id=0;

foreach($_FILES as $f) { 

    $detectedType = exif_imagetype($f['tmp_name']);

    if(in_array($detectedType, $allowedTypes)){

        $pi = pathinfo($f['name']);

        $name = $f['tmp_name'];

        $ext = $pi['extension'];

        //move_uploaded_file($f['tmp_name'], '');

       if (qa_write_blob_file($id++, file_get_contents($name), $ext)) echo qa_get_blob_url($id,true);

else echo "error";

}

} 

However, this does not work. Is there something I do wrong?

You should be using qa_create_blob(...) not qa_write_blob_file(...) - please read the documentation page whose link I provided.
