How are files encoded when theyre sent in mulitpart forms??? Is it the same as blob fields in mySQL databased when you use the LOAD_FILE() command?? If not, is it easy to convert from one to the other?? At the moment, Im taking the blob from mySQL and writing it to a file and then uploading that file through cURL! Very messy.
