Hi,

I have ascript that renames images coming from a camera (placed in /home/httpd/htdocs/image.jpg) to the date of the image (2003_8_3_16_34_43.jpg) and then place the images in a new directory in /home/me/images/2003_8_3_16_34_43.jpg.

I would like to insert the images header into MySQL. (image_name, image_size, and image_date_modified). how do i do this. i have put a script together, but how do i get the image information to be sent to MySQL. please help. 

use DBI;
############################################################
#   Connect to Database Named cctvimages on the localhost with the roo
+t user   #
#   $dbh=DBI->connect(DBI:mysql;$database", $user, $password);
############################################################
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=cctvimages; host=localhost"
+, "xxxx", "xxx", {'RaiseError' => 1});

############################################################
# Insert the image_name, image_size and the image_date_modified to ima
+geheader table#
# with the values from renamed images coming from /home/me/images/    
+              #
############################################################
$statement = "INSERT INTO imageheader 
(image_name, image_size, image_date_modified) 
VALUES 
('$image_name', '$image_size', '$image_date_modified')";


$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement) or die "Can't prepare $statement: " .
+ $dbh->errstr . "\n"; 
$sth->execute or die "Can't execute the query: " . $dbh->errstr . "\n"
+;
$sth->finish; 
$dbh->disconnect();
