Photo/PHP Upload Help Needed

[Hairy Baldman]

I am a webmaster working with an app developer to capture data from an app and upload it to our webserver. I have successfully been able to receive data ie. string variables and process them into a MySQL database via a PHP script page on our webserver. I am having difficulty figuring out how to process the attached jpg accompanying the data. I have managed to insert it as a LONGBLOB into the database, but have not been able to read it afterward. Has anyone successfully processed an incoming photo without the use of a submission form in PHP? How have other app developers handled the posting of images to a web server from within an app? Should the app developer be using the MFMailComposer class instead and sending the image and data via e-mail? Thanks in advance for any assistance or advice you can provide.

The only that could be going wrong from an iphone dev perspective is if the images are not being encoded correctly when passed to your server. Do you know if the image data is correct after its been uploaded?

As far as php things this community might be a little blank for information but I dug this up (didn't read much beyond the title but hope it helps.. dev shed is great for php)

Thanks for taking the time to reply and supplying the link. I will try to move forward with a solution. I am still curious as to how iPhone App developers are moving photos from the device to a webserver.
