Sorry, I forgot to give you what you wanted along with word of caution. This article at phpbuilder.com will get you started: Binary Data + MySQL + PHP http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/florian19991014.php3
Personally, wouldn't do this.. I've done that in the past, and if you ever have to repair the tables or dump-and-move, you could *possibly* wind up with a database full of trashed images. That has happened to me twice. Besides, I think it's a little clunky. I just started storing the images on disk, then storing the location of the images (and the images' properties) in the database table(s). However, doing that may not be possible in your case, I don't know. That's just MHO, Brian
