Storing images on the server

Hi,

ODK Aggregate stores images in the database. I need to retrieve and store them on some location on the server. Is there a way to do it via some PHP script?

Thanks,
Saad

Hi @saad,
Here is a link to a postgresql function that generates files on the server. I think you already saw it as we discuss it on april but if not I paste it here :

github.com/getodk/aggregate

Increase collected images accessibility / Store media files into database and server file system

It would be a great enhancement if Aggragete could store medias files into the database and into the file system or if Aggregate could purpose a way to access stored files by unique url.

The gitlab page is un french and in english.
