' Truncate files above 1MB

Upload.SetMaxSize 1048576
' Save to data directory

Upload.SaveVirtual "/data"
             
' Process all files received
For Each File in Upload.Files
' Save in the database as blob
File.ToDatabase
"DSN=userid.dsn_name;UID=user_id;PWD=account_Password;",_"insert into UploadTable (id, FilePath, image)values (12, '" & File.Path & '",?)"

Next

' Display description field
Response.Write Upload.Form ("Description") & "<BR>"

' Display all selected categories

If Item.Name = "Category" Then
Response.Write Item.Value & "<BR>"

To include an uploaded image from your database in a web page you can use a regular <IMG> tag in your HTML page with the SRC attribute pointing to the asp script. Please see the following examples:

    <HTML>
<BODY<br> <IMGSRC="getimage.asp?id=12">
</BODY>
</HTML>

     

  • getimage.asp 
    <%
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject ("Persits.Upload.1") 
Set db = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

db.Open "userid.dsn"

Set rs =db.Execute("SELECT image FROM uploadTable where id = " & Request("id")
Response.ContentType = "image/gif"   ' (or "image/jpeg")

Response.BinaryWrite rs("image")
