[PHP] binary data - MSSQL
Hi Everyone, I did ask this earlier, but I have made some head way since, but I'm still not sure that I have things right. What datatype should I use for zip files? How do I create a link to a file to be downloaded from the database? All the examples I have read all relate to images, which hasn't really helped.

You should use the blob type therefore How do I create a link to a file to be downloaded from the database? first you need a php script that pulls the data out of the database and echoes an appropriate header, and after this all the binary data of your file, you would then link it and give the id or whatever you use to identify it in the database as parameter to this script. All the examples I have read all relate to images, which hasn't really helped. it's exactly the same with zips as with images, the only difference is the header for the mime type which is image/gif for gif's and application/zip for zips If you already know everything for images out oif a Mysql, then i don't tell it again here - ask if you still have problems! henning -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] binary data - MSSQL
are you shure about putting binarydata into a database? cant you do it with links? performance would be better this way i think.
