ibase_blob_get
Description
Reads len bytes of data, or all there is available in case len > amount of data left, from a BLOB opened for reading with ibase_blob_open() . Also advances the point from where data is read, so the next call to this function starts reading where the previous ended. Return value is the data read from BLOB, FALSE if there's no more data left or an error occurred.
Remember to always close the BLOB with ibase_blob_close() after you have done with it, or you risk losing data.
Note
Available in PHP 3 since 3.0.7, PHP 4 since 4.0RC1
Example
Example 532. Read an image and print it out 100 bytes at a time
// Assume that this example is saved in a file "image.php"
// and called with URL http://some.host/image.php?id=some_number
// Suppress all errors with @ so that headers don't get sent before we want
$conn = @ibase_connect("/path/to/employees.gdb", "username", "password");
$res = @ibase_query("SELECT image, image_type FROM employees WHERE emp_id = $id");
if ($row = @ibase_fetch_row($res)) {
header("Content-type: $row[1]");
$blobby = ibase_blob_open($row[0]);
while ($blob_stuff = ibase_blob_get($blobby, 100)) {
echo $blob_stuff;
}
ibase_blob_close($blobby);
}
