Re: [PHP] Insert file into sql server binary field.
I would notice the difference, but computers don't understand text, it is just data for them, and they represent it the same way (there is no special file type for text and binary in filesystem either). The only difference is in case sensitivity - taken from mysql manual. You can also store binary objects in text.

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 - 1 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

Re: [PHP] Insert file into sql server binary field.
Never heard of that, in fact, addslashes escapes also NUL, so it must be binary, and BLOB is like TEXT, except for comparison is case sensitive in BLOB. And what if the file contains malicious code - it might come from remote user's upload Sterling Hughes wrote: Read the file, addslashes(), and then insert it Rather, read the file, don't touch addslashes, then insert it.
