SYNOPSIS
string ibase_blob_get (resource $blob_handle, int $len)
DESCRIPTION

Note
It is not possible to read from a BLOB that has been opened for writing by ibase_blob_create(3).

EXAMPLES
Example #1
ibase_blob_get(3) example
<?php
$result = ibase_query("SELECT blob_value FROM table");
$data = ibase_fetch_object($result);
$blob_data = ibase_blob_info($data->BLOB_VALUE);
$blob_hndl = ibase_blob_open($data->BLOB_VALUE);
echo ibase_blob_get($blob_hndl, $blob_data[0]);
?>
Whilst this example doesn't do much more than a 'ibase_blob_echo($data->BLOB_VALUE)' would do, it does show you how to get information
into a $variable to manipulate as you please.
