in reply to Trouble getting the file contents from return values

Hello, I have a method that returns two values that are supposed to hold the contents of a file. When I insert the returned values into my db only the file names appears in the table fields.

So your method returns filenames instead of file contents? Maybe you want to read perlopentut.

The datatype for the fields are text. My question is how do I get the file contents into those fields?

What kind of database is it?
