is there an easy possibility to store a file that was uploaded via input type=file directly into a mysql-db which is defined as BLOB?

open_basedir messages mean you don't have the rights to open the file in its current location. This is usually indicative of PHP running in Safe Mode. You can work around this if you have access to the .conf file. Check phpinfo and look for the safe_mode setting. If it's on, check the open_basedir setting. You can open files in any dir underneath what is listed.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

He means it's more work for the server to have your files in blobs of a DB. It's better (and less work on the server) to store the path to the file in the DB, and the file itself in just the file system.

to load a file directly into a blob field, use this:

insert into tablename(blobfield) values(load_file('/path/to/file.txt'))
