Sorry, I should have said. Im trying to send this file to an external multipart form script which converts the file to the desired format. Im using cURL to do this. cURL can send files when given the filename, so I have to write the filename from the database and then give cURL the path. But thats messy I want to be able to get the BINARY data from mySQL and send it via cURL directly. TIA ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W.
