You'll need to send the appropriate headers for the browser to do the right thing, and since it's probably a big field instead of saving it to a variable, just echo it out. No idea what the right headers are though :) I understand that the headers are important. However, that was not the question. The question asked how to retrieve data from a mysql database using PHP.

Just like any other field type. Doesn't matter to PHP what the field
type is...
$sql = "SELECT `longblob_fieldname` FROM `table` WHERE (`id` = '$id')
LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
if (mysql_num_rows ($result)) {
$contents = mysql_result ($result, 0);
}

Re: [PHP-DB] playing longblob media
What kind of media are you trying to retrieve? Are you trying to retrieve the MySQL data and stream that through your script to the client? How big is the BLOB? If nothing else, you'll need to adapt the MIME-type in the header of your HTTP-message.
