hi, 2 ways to do this:
a) don't store the file actually in the db but store the path to it. b)use the function LOAD_FILE(filename) to get the contents of a file as a string value and store as a blob. decide which to use depending on how many pics you have cheers Rich toby gibbson wrote: > ok guyz more trouble > > now im supposed to convert all the text (from ms word) to PDF and put > the pdf files in mysql db > > now i ve really got myslf stuck havent i > > can anyone plz hlp ???? > > thnx a million > > stuck az usual > > toby ..... > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Before posting, please check: > http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) > http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) > > To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To unsubscribe, e-mail > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Trouble unsubscribing?
