how to save a image file ( say png ) into mysql database?

[AviMittal]

i am doing it following way..

say have an image file named: apple.png
i opened the file and read it completely using file.readAll(). and saved it into QString (str).
then i converted this QString(str) into QbyteArray and then called toBase64(). and then tried to save it in database and in same way i tried to read it from database but it didnt worked.

Can you share your sample code for this?

thanx

why are you saving data to QString and then converting it to QByteArray? isn't readAll() alredy returning QByteArray? try to readAll() straight into QByteArray without any QStirings

[AviMittal]

its not working for me

[faldzip]

can you show us your code?

Save given QImage directly into QByteArray:

QImage image;
         QByteArray ba;
         QBuffer buffer(&ba);
         buffer.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
         image.save(&buffer, "PNG");

QImage image;
         QByteArray ba;
         QBuffer buffer(&ba);
         buffer.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
         image.save(&buffer, "PNG");
