You need to do something simmaler to reading files stored in a database, which is described here: http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/wikis/mysql-tutorials/uploading-files-to-mysql-database.aspx bit instead of reading the data from the DB, read if from the file using fopen() and fread(). you may need to read the file in chunks to prevent running out of RAM, depending on how big the spasific file is. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
