Hi, I'm trying to store an image - getting by HTTP-Post - in a Sybase iAnywhere-Database. I'm using the Unified ODBC functions to connect to the database. The following function should store the image-file: function ab_insert_file ( $connection_id, $document_id) { if ($_FILES['FILE']['size'] > 0 ) { //move_uploaded_file($_FILES['FILE']['tmp_name'],'c:\tmp\file1.gif'); // just tried, if the upload works $mime_type = 'IMAGE/GIF'; $fhandle = fopen($_FILES['FILE']['tmp_name'],'r'); $blob_data = fread($fhandle, filesize($_FILES['FILE']['tmp_name'])); $data = bin2hex( $blob_data ); $insert = "insert into document_file (document_id, filename, data, file_date, mime_type) values ($document_id, '".$_FILES['FILE']['name']."', 0x".$data.", NULL, '$mime_type')"; ab_insert_db($connection_id, $insert); // function for inserting the statement } } The fileupload works fine. But if i try to face the image, I only get some fragments of it (the first part, only). The output-function reads as follows: <?php $select = "select data, mime_type from document_file where document_file_id = $document_file_id"; $Query_ID = odbc_exec($connection_id, $select); // change to ODBC_BINMODE_CONVERT for comparison odbc_binmode($Query_ID, ODBC_BINMODE_RETURN); $Images = odbc_result($Query_ID, 1); echo $Images; ?> Any Idea?
