Hi John, Your new information does make my previous post redundant :-) However I disagree when you say.
"cURL can send files when given the filename, so I have to write the filename from the database and then give cURL the path.
But thats messy"
IMHO this is a lot less messier than the current approach . You have to also keep in mind that using blobs puts just a wee bit more load on the database server.
Getting back to the problem at hand how about invoking one of the curl binaries and piping output from your blob into it?
best regards

Sorry, I should have said. Im trying to send this file to an external multipart form script which converts the file to the desired format.

I want to be able to get the BINARY data from mySQL and send it via cURL directly.
