Ok. Lets take a step back and summarise - and feel free to correct me if
I am wrong.

1/. Mysql can store anything in a BLOB.
2/. Using prepared statements binary data in a 'string' variable will
be stored correctly via the PHP API.
3/. What about un-prepared statements like:

(getting data out is not a major issue)

$blob=file_get_contents('mygraffix.png')

mysqli_query($link, sprintf("insert into mytable set myblob='%s'",$blob));

Presumably that will barf at some point because the PHP itself will get
confused about where the string begins and ends?

Or does it? I suppose its down to the way PHP parses the query string
and sends it.

Which is why the 'prepared' statement or 'Load_file()' options are
preferred?

i.e. the problem is not with mysql per se, but with PHPs way of handling
strings..

In C of course you simply use mysql_real_query() and specify the query
length..

But I can't actually see how even that will work.. OK you now how long
the total statement has to be, but
at some level you are going to have a statement like 'update mytable,
set bmyblob=randombinarydatapossibly_containing,set
something_else=somethingelse'

That is, simply knowing the completed query LENGTH does not remove
ambiguity.

Where this leaves me is essentially that methods (1) and (2) above are
the only reliable ways to do this job.

I'd like that confirmed or denied..

In the past I have always used load_file with no real issues, but in the
new application security is of major concern. I don't want the average
uploader of images to have general FILE access.
