Hallo,

I have 2 questions:

with php and mysql :

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

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

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

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.

But I wouldn't use a text area to input a file..use the FILE input command.

Please, could you help me with a simple example ?

Thank you .

Fab
