Re: Images in MySql

Hi there Thanks for the tip, I'll try the telnet thing. But I believe that the real problem is that scripts are not allowed to access files outside their domain, like the /tmp directory where all files that are uploaded via the web, would end up. Therefore my scripts for HTPp, FTP or MySql don't work as long as I use <file input type=file> Unless a javascript reads the file on the client side and pastes everything in a textarea, but that would be drastic...
