Mulitpart form posts and mySQL databases

[John Ryan]

How are files encoded when theyre sent in mulitpart forms??? Is it the same
as blob fields in mySQL databased when you use the LOAD_FILE() command??

If not, is it easy to convert from one to the other?? At the moment, Im
taking the blob from mySQL and writing it to a file and then uploading that
file through cURL! Very messy.

TIA

The details are here:

but it's best not to re-invent the wheel. Most scripting languages have
built in support or at least add-on modules for dealing with HTTP file
uploads.
