note 10026 added to InterBase functions

Blobs are hard to work with when there's such little (or poorly written) documentation. Here is an example of how to deal with a blob once it's been selected from the database. function blob_explode ( $blob_str_id ) { $blob_id = ibase_blob_open ( $blob_str_id ) ; list ( $blob['length'], $blob['numseg'], $blob['maxseg'], $blob['stream'], $blob['isnull'] ) = ibase_blob_info ( $blob_str_id ) ; $blob['data'] = ibase_blob_get ( $blob_id, $blob['length'] ) ; ibase_blob_close ( $blob_id ) ; return $blob ; } http://www.php.net/manual/ref.ibase.php
