SELECT it just like any other field. Some people mistakenly say
to use stripslashes() on the result, but it's almost always wrong
to do so.
Are you having trouble working with binary data? If so then please
elaborate.

Question for Michael (since I am not the original poster): Why would
performing a stripslashes() on the result be *almost* always wrong on a
BLOB column? I could see where this might be suggested for binary data,
but not for ascii text... I'm just curious since I store data in BLOBs
(and read them back using SELECT) and I'm wondering if there is
something that I am (or am not considering) that I may not know about...
thanks

I said "almost always wrong" because I could contrive a situation
where calling stripslashes() on retrieved data would be appropriate.
For example, if magic_quotes_gp c is turn on but a script doesn't
check it with get_magic_quote s_gpc() and calls addslashes() or
mysql_escape_st ring() on form data anyway, then the form data would
be double-escaped. If the double-escaped data is inserted into a
database, then you'd need to call stripslashes() after retrieving
the data to get it back to its original format. Proper coding would
have avoided this, but if you're working on a project with other
programmers then you may not have control over how data is inserted
into the database.

Is there any PHP function that will allow me to determine the MIME type

I cannot seem to store binary data as a BLOB.
I used the following to create a table capable of holding a BLOB:
CREATE TABLE blob_table
(
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
binary_stuff BLOB,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Hi,
I have a blob field in a mysql database table. I want to copy a blob
from one record to another. I am having trouble transferring the data
via a php variable. Maybe I need to addslashes or convert to Hex or
something. I've tried a few things but can't quite get it. Here is
simplified code.
mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection);

Good morning folks,
I cannot read a binary file into a mysql database. Everything I tried did not succeed.
What I tried (found from various google lookups...) is this:
con = MySQLdb.connect(to server)
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("insert into data values('file1', %s)", (open("test.jpg", "rb").read(), ))

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
