RE: [PHP] Re: Store uploaded files in MySQL-BLOB

This won't work if they're binary files. Also, for most binaries, it's better to use LONGBLOB... much more flexibility. But there's a bunch of stuff to tweak to get it to work. http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/florian19991014.php3 has details.

As for the entry to the database through php, I'm not entirely sure what method you're using to add these. Are they uploading their file and then it reads it as it exists on the server? Is it supposed to read a file they specify with a browse but never actually upload it anywhere? It might be better to just include a text field for them to cut+paste to in a form if it's nothing but text. -Adam -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
