Hi! I store image files in a MySql table, and can upload, store and retrieve these binary files without problems. I also store some audio files (they happen to be in .wav format). I'm having difficulty dragging these audio files out in a way that IE and Netscape can recognize. This doesn't work: print "<EMBED src='getAudio.php3?uid=$reference_passed ' HIDDEN = FALSE CONTROLS = console VOLUME = 70 LOOP = FALSE width=70 height='25' AUTOSTART = FALSE NAME = 'classic' MASTERSOUND >"; (script is in PHP4) The "$reference_passed" refers to a reference number in one table that points to a blob in another table containing the binary information. However, if I change the $reference_passed to something with a recognizable extension, like .wav or .au, I get a little console and this appears to be usable (if only I could make a variable called $reference_passed.wav , but I can't, so I cannot successfully play this file). Am I doing something really dumb here? I'd rather not store references in the table and then audio files on disk. It is very tidy to have everything in MySql. Could someone point the way?
