In what way? BLOB is binary large object. Text is ... text. One is binary, and the other is ASCII. The only similarity I can think of is that they both represent data. However, the format is completely different. Open up a binary file in a text editor, and then do the same with a regular text file. I think you will notice a significant difference. Or, consider the representation of 16 in binary versus ASCII: binary - 10000 ascii - 0011000100110110 As Sterling mentioned, using addslashes() on binary data is a bad idea. The same can be said for any string operations intended for ASCII data. Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
