I store pictures in mysql BLOBs. 1) when I use something link this: ------------------- $res=mysql_query("select myPicture from pictures where id=12",$link); $row=mysql_fetch_array; ------------------- what type will be variable $row['myPicture']? 2) how cat I get size of $row['myPicture']? 3) does "readfile($filename)" function keep $filename file opened until client get it? i.e. if I have myDoc.pdf (2MB size), execute "readfile("myDoc.pdf")", and client recieve this file with 2kb/sec speed. Does it mean "mysDoc.pdf" will be open about 1000 seconds? With best regards, Igor Mikhailov.
