ibase_blob_add

Name

ibase_blob_add — Add data into a previously created BLOB

Synopsis

boolean ibase_blob_add(blob, data);
int blob: Handle to an open BLOB
string data: Data to be added to the BLOB

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE on error

Description

Adds the contents from data to the end of the BLOB specified by blob , created by ibase_blob_create() . You can construct a BLOB dynamically by either generating its contents on the fly or fetching data piecewise from different sources. If the data you want to add to a BLOB is in a file, ibase_blob_import() is a better alternative.

Note that creating, constructing, closing and inserting a BLOB into a database must happen within the same transaction context, i.e., you are not allowed to either commit or roll back the ongoing transaction until you have either inserted the BLOB into the database or discarded it with ibase_blob_cancel() .

Note

Available in PHP 3 since 3.0.7, PHP 4 since 4.0RC1

Note

Input parameter blob will change its type to resource in the future.

Example

Example 527. Add data to a BLOB

// Adjust the ibase_connect() values for your environment
$conn = ibase_connect("/path/to/employees.gdb", 'username', 'password');

// Create, populate, and close the blob
$blobby = ibase_blob_create($conn);
ibase_blob_add($blobby, "Foo Bar Quux Baaz Kazaam!")
   || die("Couldn't add to blob on line " . __LINE__ . "\n");
$blob_id = ibase_blob_close($blobby);

// Insert the blob into our table
$res = ibase_query("INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES (emp_id, image) VALUES (1, ?)", $blob_id);
