Re: [PHP-DB] Insert a file in a mysql database!
check in the manual under the features section, a part called Handling file uploads. you need to use a multipart/form-data html form, which then posts the contents of the file to the server. once it is there, you can parse it into a single variable and save that into the db just like you would anything else, or you can write it to disk somewhere and save a path for it. getting it back out - make sure you also save the mime-type of the file, then just pass the mimetype as a header, and then spit out the contents of the file (if it's saved in the db) HTH Beau At 01:03 PM 3/3/01 -0800, Pedro M.
