hi everybody,

I am newbies in php and mysql.
Any ideas to upload and download binary data to/from mysql server??

I just wodner if I do all binary data onto the database will crash the server...... isn't it??

Thanks.

Regards,
Andrew

my advice is NOT TO store the binary data into the database/tables; store the path to them.

i think you could not crush the mysql server, but you could really SLOW him DOWn if the binary file is too large: you must espect several hits for the same thing, at the same time
