Look at the blob (Large Object) datatype.

Depending on which interface you want to use you may need to dig in into examples of using server side functions or lippq, including this sample program

Alternatively you can store your files on the disk and keep only the pathname on the database.
Many people would argue that this is a better approach.

I have used some example code to create a database in MySQL and using php I can add binary files to the database. I was under the impression that I would be able to download the files with the source code provided, but am having trouble doing that. <?php if ($id_files) { include "./include/open_db.inc"; $sql = "SELECT bin_data, filetype, filename, filesize FROM tbl_Files WHERE id_files=$id_files";

Hi, When developing a website in general when should I choose to put content in a database. For menu options, settings, and listings like products it seems to be clear for me to put them in. But the main content (article for example) should I put that in a page or in the database. More in general, when would it benefit to use a database and when not. Does anyone know a good tutorial or do you have advice concerning this.
