listing images from folder

hey folks,
i m in lot of problem. i have a project i m working on. i have a form made which upload file into a folder calls uploads. now i wanna get them to display but before that i wanna send them to database of images but i am confused how.

Code PHP:

---

<?php
 
$path = "./";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open folder");
 
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
 
if(ereg("(.*)\.(jpg|bmp|jpeg|png|gif)", $file)){
echo "<img src='$file' alt='$file'><br />";
}
 
 
}
closedir($dir_handle);
 
 
 
 
?>

---

try this code

just curiosity. suppose if i m making a form which submit text field n upload an image in a database. how does the process follow. is it the image upload inupload dir and create a id for itself in blob field in mysql and like this or wht is the system/process involved in this?

you should not store images in database, just the path to the images.

how do i store its path? with a relational database like a form with a option for pic upload.

Something like this:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $img = "images/" . $_FILES['myFile']['name'];

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name'], $img))
    {
        mysql_query("INSERT INTO images SET path='$img'") or die(mysql_error());
    }
}
?>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input name="myFile" type="file" /><br />
 <input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

---

so this is all to sending a image into images folder n sending a path to mysql on where it is stored? or there is something else?
what i m looking for is when i upload an image in php directory images using a form filled from my cms. the image goes into images folder and mysql give that image an id to identify which is at image 1 or 2 and so on

Yes

well i will try and keep u posted. thnx for now
