You could addslashes() the string, but why not just whip up a query using
the mysql load_file() function? I haven't used it before, and I don't
see immediately how to do it all in one call (because the mysql manual
gives an UPDATE example), but surely creating the record first and
getting the record number and then something like
update tbl set col = load_file("/path/to/file") where id = recno ;
would work.

I hear this sort of thing a lot, and I'm still not sold on the
requirement of having the files inside the database. Oh, I agree that
you should let the database handle the organization, but that has nothing
to do with storing the files in the filesystem. Whether you have one big
directory or a whole tree structure, whether you assign a filename based
on record number or store the path and file name or even just use raw
inod numbers, doesn't matter; no matter how you slice it you end up with
a pointer to the data. And it seems a lot simpler to store the data in a
file, and a lot faster to query the db without having to go over the
image data every time, and in general just better to use the filesystem
(which, after all, is a sort of database anyway :-)
