You did not run the quote() funcion on $arch.
If $arch contains any special characters, it will break your query.

RE: storing PDF files in mysql ?????
thnx jan vat im planning to do NOW is ill store path to the pdf file in the db as i ve been told the files r gonna take a hell lotta space (n i ve planty of them) secondly i ll keep the TEXT of these pdf files in the db for indexing n them compare search keywordz with these n throw out the matching pdf file (no other way i can see about it) third pal if u ve ever worked with these thinggyz i cant figure out how to disabble text selection while im cpnverting word to PDF so that nobdy can copy the files (im using acrobat dissteller for conversion if this helps) thnx a mill toby ..

An example is this com object: http://www.convertzone.com/doc2pdfcom/help.htm#HowtoBuy, it costs $219 and converts .doc to .pdf. That's $219 saved if you're on MacOS X, since PDF conversion is universally available to any application that can print. Once you have the document in PDF, it's a relatively trivial action to store the documents in your MySQL database. Using BLOBs, I assume? I believe the original quester also wanted to be able to search them, which I believe is non-trivial! You can't simply slap a FULLTEXT index on them, right? It seems to me one would have to create an index BEFORE putting the PDFs in MySQL, then add that index as a separate FULLTEXT field.

Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2002 21:47:23 -0600 Toby, If I understand correctly you want to perform two distinct actions: 1. Convert Microsoft Office Word .doc files into .pdf 2. Store those pdf's in MySQL. You should look into (via google.com) some doc to pdf converters. An example is this com object: http://www.convertzone.com/doc2pdfcom/help.htm#HowtoBuy, it costs $219 and converts .doc to .pdf. If you can convert the .doc's into .html files, you might be able to get away with using Adobe's free email converter service. Email the HTML document to [EMAIL PROTECTED], wait an hour or so, and you'll find a pdf version in your inbox. (There's also a [EMAIL PROTECTED] address if you dont want to use html, but I think you wanted to keep formatting). Once you have the document in PDF, it's a relatively trivial action to store the documents in your MySQL database.

I think if you decide to store in the blob, whatever it is, a pdf or jpeg or bmp, it is going to be in binary format. While you need to display it back, just convert them back to whatever format you like. Else there is always the choice of just storing the path in your database. By the way, which language you are using to write your applications.
