On www.php.net, on the page for convert_uuencode(), someone posted
this comment:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This function can be useful if you wish to store files in a MySQL
database, it will save any problems with obscure binary data breaking
the queries.

just remember to convery-uudecode before you try to use the data
again.

(A common example of something that uses this system, would be email
attachments)

If I understand this right, before you insert any binary data into a
MySql database, you should first hit it with convert_uuencode() ?
