Could you include the error you receive? You can check the current value of your max_allowed_packet using the following command,
mysql> show variables like 'max_allowed_packet'; max_allowed_packet determines the maximum packet length that the server can send and receive. You can set this value to something other than the default using, mysql> set max_allowed_packet=1048576; To make the change more permanent you can add a line to /etc/my.cnf in the [mysqld] section of that config file and restart the server.

I'm getting the error: When uploading a file in my PHP code to a mysql table. >From what I've read, this has to do with the max_allowed_packet variable in mysql. How can I tell what that packet variable is set to? Do I have to re-compile mysql to change it? Or is there a config file (linux OS) I can change it in and restart the server?
