PG_ESCAPE_BYTEA(3)														PG_ESCAPE_BYTEA(3)

pg_escape_bytea - Escape a string for insertion into a bytea field

SYNOPSIS
string pg_escape_bytea ([resource $connection], string $data) DESCRIPTION
pg_escape_bytea(3) escapes string for bytea datatype. It returns escaped string. Note When you SELECT a bytea type, PostgreSQL returns octal byte values prefixed with '' (e.g. 32). Users are supposed to convert back to binary format manually. This function requires PostgreSQL 7.2 or later. With PostgreSQL 7.2.0 and 7.2.1, bytea values must be cast when you enable multi- byte support. i.e. INSERT INTO test_table (image) VALUES ('$image_escaped'::bytea); PostgreSQL 7.2.2 or later does not need a cast. The exception is when the client and backend character encoding does not match, and there may be multi-byte stream error. User must then cast to bytea to avoid this error. PARAMETERS
o $connection - PostgreSQL database connection resource. When $connection is not present, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect(3) or pg_pconnect(3). o $data - A string containing text or binary data to be inserted into a bytea column. RETURN VALUES
A string containing the escaped data. CHANGELOG

pg_unescape_bytea - Unescape binary for bytea type

SYNOPSIS
string pg_unescape_bytea (string $data) DESCRIPTION
pg_unescape_bytea(3) unescapes PostgreSQL bytea data values. It returns the unescaped string, possibly containing binary data. Note When you SELECT a bytea type, PostgreSQL returns octal byte values prefixed with '' (e.g. 32). Users are supposed to convert back to binary format manually. This function requires PostgreSQL 7.2 or later. With PostgreSQL 7.2.0 and 7.2.1, bytea values must be cast when you enable multi- byte support. i.e. INSERT INTO test_table (image) VALUES ('$image_escaped'::bytea); PostgreSQL 7.2.2 or later does not need a cast. The exception is when the client and backend character encoding does not match, and there may be multi-byte stream error. User must then cast to bytea to avoid this error. PARAMETERS
o $data - A string containing PostgreSQL bytea data to be converted into a PHP binary string. RETURN VALUES
A string containing the unescaped data. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pg_unescape_bytea(3) example <?php // Connect to the database $dbconn = pg_connect('dbname=foo'); // Get the bytea data $res = pg_query("SELECT data FROM gallery WHERE name='Pine trees'"); $raw = pg_fetch_result($res, 'data'); // Convert to binary and send to the browser header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); echo pg_unescape_bytea($raw); ?> CHANGELOG
