RE: Inserting BLOB data from a CGI file upload field

Dont do that, save the PDF as a file and only have the path to the file in MySQL. You will be much happier with the results. -Kerry -----Original Message----- From: George A.

I'm able to do it in Perl DBI with the bind_param thing, but I can't find a similar function in PHP. I also can't find a function that's analogous to the quote function in the Perl DBI, which I'll need to toss the entire file into an "insert into" SQL statement. Any suggestions?
