Hi Barry, I do not know what do you use for feeding your database, but in Perl you shoud use the DBI module, and insert the binary data through bindings. use DBI; use strict; ... my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:image_db", "user", "password") || die "$DBI::errstr\n"; # connect to the database ... my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT jpeg_table SET size_x = $size_x, size_y = $size_y, image_data = ?;") || die "$DBI::errstr\n"; # prepare the insert statement, replacing the image data with a question mark $sth->bind_param(1, $image_data); # binding the binary data $sth->execute() || die "$DBI::errstr\n"; # executing the insert ... $dbh->disconnect(); # disconnect Regards, Peter Szekszardi PortoLogic Ltd.

Hi okie heres a snippet of my php code: the code below takes a file uploaded from the web with $file as declared filename on the form. if ($file_size>0) { //check whether the file is not empty $data = addslashes(fread(fopen($file, "r"), filesize($file))); //read the file and add neccessary quotes $SQL="Insert into Files (Filename,Filetype,Filesize,data) values ('$file_name','$file_type','$file_size','$data')"; //SQL commands to insert into table named 'FILES' $result = mysql_query ($SQL) or die ("ERROR Uploading File:".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>$SQL"); } okie hope that helps!
