    <p>I have an upload phone app that uploads either images or audio recordings. The image can be uploaded to a mysql database and displayed no problem in a webpage, The problem i am having is playing the audio on the webpage, i have tested the webpage by playing mp3 files i have placed in the database myself though the webpage. When i upload an mp3 file from the phone or emulator nothing plays. The database is populated with a file size and on the webpage a media player does load, but nothing plays</p> <p>Edit 1 Since writing this i have learnt that android records in .amr files and not .mp3 which i had been creating the file as. Since then i can play the file on my desktop using either quicktime or real player. When i attempt to play the file through a web browser i get a quicktime logo with a question mark in the middle. Below is my code for playing the file.</p> <pre><code>header('Content-type: audio/amr'); $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM media WHERE media_id= '$idd'"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($query); echo $row['file']; </code></pre> <p>Embed code where 110 is $idd in the above</p> <pre><code>&lt;object data="sound.php?id=110 width='391' height='298'"&gt; &lt;embed src='sound.php' width='391' height='298'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;'ERROR' &lt;/object&gt; </code></pre> <p>Edit 2</p> <p>If i put the same file directly on my server and NOT in the database this code downloads the file</p> <pre><code>&lt;OBJECT classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="100" height="100"codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'&gt; &lt;param name='src' value="apr.amr"&gt; &lt;param name='autoplay' value="true"&gt; &lt;param name='controller' value="true"&gt; &lt;param name='loop' value="true"&gt; &lt;EMBED src="apr.amr" width="100" height="100" autoplay="true" controller="true" loop="true" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'&gt; &lt;/EMBED&gt; &lt;/OBJECT&gt; </code></pre> <p>Edit 3 upload code</p> <pre><code>if (isset($_FILES['image']) &amp;&amp; $_FILES['image']['size'] &gt; 0) { $size = $_FILES['image']['size']; $type = $_FILES['image']['type']; // Temporary file name stored on the server $tmpName = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; // Read the file $fp = fopen($tmpName, 'r'); $data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName)); fclose($fp); $data = addslashes($data); // Create the query and insert // into our database. $query = "INSERT INTO media"; $query .= "(file, file_size, file_type) VALUES ('$data','$size','$type')"; $results = mysql_query($query, $link); $mediaid = mysql_insert_id(); $gender = $_POST['gender']; $cat_id = $_POST['cat']; $name = $_POST['name']; $lat = $_POST['lat']; $lon = $_POST['lon']; $user = $_POST['user']; $query="INSERT INTO instance (name, gender, cat_id, lon, lat, user_id) VALUES ('$name', '$gender', '$cat_id', '$lon', '$lat', '$user')"; $result=mysql_query($query); $instanceid = mysql_insert_id(); $query4 = "INSERT INTO media_link"; $query4 .="(media_id, instance_id) Values ('$mediaid','$instanceid')"; $results4 = mysql_query($query4, $link); } // Close our MySQL Link mysql_close($link); ?&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COWould speculate that your upload code is broken, but without seeing it there's no way to tell. Does the web page actually fetch the uploaded audio file correctly and can that audio file be played using a desktop media player?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
