Insert text file in a text field

Hallo,

I have 2 questions:

with php and mysql :

1) How can I insert a text file into a TEXT field of a table ?

2) How can I insert a microsoft word file into a BLOB field of a
table ?

Please, could you help me with a simple example ?

Thank you .

Fab

textarea value="<?php echo thefile; ?>" something like that

wouldn't it be more practical to just store the file's path instead of
the file itself?

Actually it isn't.I ended up with EVERYTHING - files and images - in the
database simply because backing up the database then backs up
EVERYTHING.
ok, good point. I was just not thinking in terms of back ups.
But I wouldn't use a text area to input a file..use the FILE input
command.
that was my misanderstandin g the first question.

I used bcp to produce the apended format file. How can it be modified to recognize the quotes that surround the text fields and not insert the quotes along with the text? Invariably, the first four columns have text surrounded by quotes and are terminated by tabs. If the first column has "abc", only abc ought to be inserted into that field in the table. Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
