FBIRD_BLOB_IMPORT

Purpose

Use the fbird_blob_import function to store a file in a new blob.

Syntax

<blob_import> ::=
   fbird_blob_import( [conn_hndl ,] file_hndl )

Element 

Type

Description

conn_hndl

resource

A valid connection handle

file_hndl

resource

A valid file handle, open for reading

<return>

mixed

String with blob ID upon success, False upon failure

Semantics

The fbird_blob_import function creates a blob, reads an entire file into it, closes it and returns the assigned blob ID. The file handle is a handle returned by fopen(). The function returns FALSE on failure.

If a connection handle is not provided, then the "default" connection will be used. The default connection is assigned every time you call fbird_connect or fbird_pconnect, so if you have multiple connections it will be whichever one was connected last.

Example

The below example checks for the existence of a file named “autoexec.bat” and inserts its contents into the table “foo” if the file exists:

$fd = fopen('C:\autoexec.bat', 'r');
if ($fd) {
   $blob = ibase_blob_import($fd);
   fclose($fd);
   $query = "INSERT INTO foo (name, data) VALUES ('autoexec.bat', ?)";
   ibase_query($query, $blob);
   }
}
