Hi, How can i retrieve via php a media stored in a mysql database as longblob? I'd like to be able to retrieve the media and stream it. TIA regards, ron

Just like any other field type. Doesn't matter to PHP what the field type is...

But it does to the browser. You'll need to send the appropriate headers for the browser to do the right thing, and since it's probably a big field instead of saving it to a variable, just echo it out. No idea what the right headers are though :)

I understand that the headers are important. However, that was not the question. The question asked how to retrieve data from a mysql database using PHP. I answered that question... ~Philip
