How to attach image to a post the way wordpress blog and this forum do

Hi guys,

Any one has a clue on how I can upload image and attach it to a post like most of WordPress blogs and this forum do.

Searching for answer on Google mostly return tutorials of image upload. I already do know that. And I hate it that searching for several hours long and Google bot think I'm one of them.

Here's the example what I want:



There it is. You inserted it and continue posting..., writing...
That's what I want.

Thank you,

 

In case you may need to know. My database is MySQL.

 

Well, if you know how to upload images, what is it that you really need? A way for adding (uploading) images while you're writing in a textarea-box? If that's the case, you need to say so, and you'll need to add a way for it to work (which will involve javascript). If you're happy just uploading the images and linking to them from the textbox, there are several ways that can be done - you could have a simple file-uploader which shows you (or outputs the code directly, so you can just copy and paste it) the name of the images, and you could even make a shorttag / BB-code tag for adding them to posts.
Or you could implement a ready-made editor.
Since you're not really clear in what you're asking, it's a bit hard to tell you exactly what you need to do to make this work.

 

Hi @PoPSiCLe,

Thanks for the clue. What I was asking is adding the image I just upload into the textarea-box while composing a post like the one I gave an example above.

I'm doing a form that would insert a post into database.

I'm able add the image into the textarea manually in case I write a post myself. But what if I was away and the people who do it have very least knowledge about computer.
I would have an upload button by the submit button for people to upload image.

Now that's after the image was upload, what I'm going to do after this?

Please give more clues.

Thanks,

 

Well, this is it: http://community.sitepoint.com/t/insert-img-tag-into-textarea/3530

It has nothing to do with PHP.

I'm looking in the wrong direction.
