Re: Load Image from File to Store in ByteA Field

Any modern version of PHP which has pg_ specific functions can do it
like this:

    $string = pg_escape_bytea(file_get_contents($filename));
    pg_query("INSERT INTO TABLE pictures (picture_bytea) VALUES
('$string');");

I prefer to use pg_escape() rather than code my own escape.
