How to store .txt files MySQL database?

Question

Can I store data files (e.g. txt files) to the MySql server? If I can, how to store them?

Answer 1

Sure you can. I would suggest reading the data from your files and then saving it in your database, i would say in a text field.

You can use something like this to get the file's content:

$file = file_get_contents('./yourfile.txt');

Then insert it

Insert into myTable VALUES (mytextfile = $file)
