Hi Tedd, Thank you for your answer. I have it working for images already, the problem comes to Excel, PDF's etc. I will do some more testing using your sample, thanks.

Peter: Storage and retrieval of an image in a dB is the same as any other data *. The problem I imagine you are having is how to prepare the data for insertion into the dB and how to display the data after you pull it back out. To prepare for insertion, try this: $image = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])); (I have magic_quotes set to OFF -- if you have it ON, remove the addslashes().) To prepare the image file for display after retrieval, try this: ob_start(); ... your dB retrieval code $fileContent = mysql_result($result, 0, "image"); $image = imagecreatefromstring($fileContent); imagejpeg($image, null, 100); ob_end_flush(); --- hth's tedd *<please gang -- no holy war about storing images in a dB> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
