I'm experimenting with PSP pages. Everything works fine, but I have a problem with file uploads.
what I want to do:
- user uploads image over the webpage
- HTTP
- the mime should be restricted to certain types (e.g. image/gif)
- the image should be resized automatically to a standard geometry (before storing in db) during the upload process
Right now I'm using a table that stores the image in a table with a blob
data type.
The upload, retrieval and display to a web page works fine.
Problems:
- How can I restrict the mime type? (I tried ACCEPT in form, didn't work.
Everything goes through).
- How can I resize the file during the process. Right now, the image is
saved "as is"
According to the documentation, the mod_plsql takes care of internal processing. So I don't know if I'm even able to do what I want with the PSP Gateway.
Should I use interMedia with its ORDImage datatype? If yes, how do I upload files from the web? Or any other HTTP file upload to the server and simply save an url in a table that points to the file on the server? Any good advise/examples/approach is greatly appreciated.
I'm running Redhat Linux 7.2 with Oracle 9i. This is a simple development box and I do not use an iAS as a middle tier at this point (maybe there's the problem...)
