Hello,

I have been working for a short while trying to extend a small web 
application we have to store images in an SQL database. While the insertion 
script seems to work, attempting retrieval causes PHP to crash with a bus 
error "error_handler: Data-conversion resulted in overflow." - which I 
believe is actually FreeTDS complaining, not PHP.

I have the PHP magic_quote_runtime, _gpc and _sybase turned on for the 
script. I have (almost) successfully used a text type field to store this 
data (seems to get truncated for some reason) so I believe my code is at 
least partially correct.

I have found 1 message in the archive from December that indicates all quotes 
have to be quoted and NULL characters stripped at some point to keep this 
from happening. Will this not corrupt my output? I am not sure if the NULL 
character is valid or necessary for the file formats I am using (in this 
instance .png).
