Image save and pull from SQL using ASP

<i><b>Originally posted by : Philip Andersen (philip@centurydirect.com)</b></i><br />I am trying to learn how to save gifs to a SQL database and then retreive them on to a page. I found this link on microsoft.com, compiled, configured and tested everything succesfully but i can't save the picture from a browser, it gives me a 405 MIME type method not allowed. Please help..here is the link to the code: http://www.microsoft.com/mind/0798/image.htm <br />

Well if you don't care how big your database will get and how many licenses you will have to purchase then go for it. Otherwise just use a text datatype in the column and upload a link to picture in a directory on your website. Also forget Posting Acceptor, it forgets session variable. There are ways around it. If you look around you can find VB source code for building your own image upload component. Otherwise go for something like SA-Fileup. It sounds like from the description of you error message that you have not set the proper HTTP-ENCODE type attribute of the FORM element. Do you have any text input on the page that the user upload the pic. Well that is the problem. Text and Binary data on a form don't mix well. Use SA-FILEUP you work it out.<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br />Tantulus<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Philip Andersen at 7/14/2000 6:52:29 PM<br /><br />I am trying to learn how to save gifs to a SQL database and then retreive them on to a page.
