I forgot to write, that i used a blob field, but the problem was with the query not seem to work right. And your question about the way i used it: I use $db = new SQLite3. I think that is the interface then, right? Just with oop. But see my answer under the other quote. > Why are you using addslashes?

I don't get the idea, why the creator of the code example used it. Perhaps it was more compatible with mysql then. Anyways, the way you gave me worked like charm. I got all the images (386 as number) in the database. That was a significant file change from 2.87 mb to 1.82 mb. Like I expected it. I just don't get it back then, then i saw about that bindvalue thing, what's the idea behind this. I never run in any problems. So, now I have an idea why this is good. That's how it worked for me: $prepare_image = $db->prepare('insert or replace into thumbs (image_name,image_datetime,image_data) values("'.$filename.'","'.$filedate.'",:fileblob)'); $prepare_image->bindValue(':fileblob',$image,SQLITE3_BLOB); $prepare_image->execute(); I used that for a foreach loop to get the whole folder in database. So thanks to you both for the information. Now we have an image example input in the archives. ;) With best wishes.
