note 56138 added to features.file-upload

Just wanted to point out a detail that might be of interest to some: when using base64_encode to store binary data in a database, you are increasing the size of the data by 1.33 times. There is a nicer way of storing the data directly. Try the following: <?php $data = mysql_real_escape_string($data); ?> This will leave the data untouched and formatted in the correct way and ready to be inserted right into a MySQL statement without wasting space. By the way, I'd like to thank therebechips for his excellent advice on data chunks. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56138 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56138&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56138&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56138&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56138&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56138&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56138&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56138&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
