                                ibase_blob_get

   (PHP 3>= 3.0.7, PHP 4 )
   ibase_blob_get --  Get len bytes data from open blob

Description

   string ibase_blob_get ( resource blob_handle, int len)

   This function returns at most len bytes from a BLOB that has been
   opened for reading by ibase_blob_open(). Returns FALSE on failure.

   <?php
       $sql       = "SELECT blob_value FROM table";
       $result    = ibase_query($sql);
       $data      = ibase_fetch_object($result);
       $blob_data = ibase_blob_info($data->BLOB_VALUE);
       $blob_hndl = ibase_blob_open($data->BLOB_VALUE);
       echo         ibase_blob_get($blob_hndl, $blob_data[0]);
   ?>

   Whilst this example doesn't do much more than a
   'ibase_blob_echo($data->BLOB_VALUE)' would do, it does show you how to
   get information into a $variable to manipulate as you please.

     Note: It is not possible to read from a BLOB that has been opened
     for writing by ibase_blob_create().

   See also ibase_blob_open(), ibase_blob_close() and ibase_blob_echo().
