RE: Informix + SLOB

Francois, SLOB support is not yet implemented. (From http://www.php.net/manual/ref.ifx.php) -snip- IUS 9.x support is partly finished: the new data types are there, but SLOB and CLOB support is still under construction. -snip- We use BLOB's and they work like this for selects. ifx_textasvarchar(1); $conn_id = ifx_connect("db@host","user",password); $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE field = 1"; $q = ifx_query($sql,$conn_id); Then treat the text field as a regular field variable. -- Dan Fitzpatrick Rapid Ascent - The e-Business Builders http://rapidascent.com Got $$$$$$/Stock/Sandals/Shorts/FlexibleHours/Telecommute/Sushi/Gadgets?

We are using Smart-Large Object mainly to store big text documents. As anyone ever succeeded at selecting a slob with PHP4? (4.0.1pl2) So far, it returns nothing or the webserver core dumps. As anyone some examples on how to use the SLOB Informix functions ? I think we are doing it wrong due to the lack of documentation.
