Storing large amounts of text in db

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am working on some scripts that will allow for uploading of files that will then be stored in a database with the ability to be listed and searched. What im wondering, is if I have a user upload a file in txt, or doc format if there is an easy way to read that file, store the information in the database so it is easily accessable later. I thinkg that longtext would be the right mysql option for me. One problem I need to conquer is how to maintain formatting in the documents. Any suggestions and comments are welcome. Thanks. - --- Aaron Axelsen AIM: AAAK2 Email: axelseaa@amadmax.com Want reliable web hosting at affordable prices? www.modevia.com Web Dev/Design Community/Zine www.developercube.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBPwpi6brnDjSLw9ADEQLiBQCgmXYiAR5kMVUggxZv57w88ahtTigAoJp4 OjB7NpviuXTu3+c9s1czzRPl =l8OI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
