I have been trying to load the textual contents of a file from my hard drive space into a field (Description) of my mySQL table (Software) using the follwing query. The query runs succfessfully, however, none of the contents are loaded into the field, in fact, the Description field is not updated at all:
UPDATE Software SET Description = LOAD_FILE(/usr2/home/khan/www/cgibin/protecting/Describe/description_file) WHERE ID = 9 I have used single and double quotes around the file name without success. In the mySQL documentation, it says that I need FILE privileges. I asked my ISP to give me these privileges and still it did not work. I am pretty sure the ISP is using PHP 4. Please provide any leads you may have. The permissions on the description_file is 777.
