Good point. I think I use that conversion snippet so often that I didn’t think twice about it. Chalk it up to verbosity, I suppose!

Interesting read. I was wondering: why do you use date(‘U’, strtotime($date)) and not just strtotime($date)? After all, strtotime also returns a Unix timestamp.

Comment on Upload Files To A MySQL Database With PHP by Jeremy Cook

Thanks for the article, very interesting. Have you had a look at the PDO extension for database access? If you use a prepared statement you can bind a file handle to a parameter and when the statement is executed PDO will automatically read the data from the file into the database (assuming the column has a suitable data type such as a blob). You can also do a similiar thing in a select statement where you bind a variable to a column in the resultset. There’s more information at http://ca.php.net/manual/en/pdo.lobs.php (but note the comment on the bug in PDO in reading binary data from the database).
