Hi, Could it have something to do with an eof character being encoded or something like that? Do you really need to store the files in the DB? It uses more processing power if stored in the DB because on retrieval, you have to unescape the string and return it. Modern filesystems are optimised better for files than databases and storing a filename and returning the contents is easier to implement than retrieving it from the DB... http://forums.codewalkers.com/php-applications-45/upload-image-file-to-mysql-as-blob-849194.html ++Tim Hinnerk Heuer++ http://www.ihostnz.com 2009/11/15 Don Wieland <donw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Hello, > > I am trying to create an UPLOAD page to Update a Images and PDFs into a > BLOB field in mySQL.
