Description
string 
fbsql_read_clob ( string clob_handle [, resource link_identifier] )
 
     Returns: A string containing the CLOB specified by clob_handle.
    
 
     fbsql_read_clob() reads CLOB data from the
     database.  If a select statement contains BLOB and/or CLOB
     columns FrontBase will return the data directly when data is
     fetched. This default behavior can be changed with
     fbsql_set_lob_mode() so the fetch functions
     will return handles to BLOB and CLOB data.  If a handle is
     fetched a user must call fbsql_read_clob() to
     get the actual CLOB data from the database.
    
| Example 1. fbsql_read_clob() example | 
<?php$link = fbsql_pconnect("localhost", "_SYSTEM", "secret")
 or die("Could not connect");
 $sql = "SELECT CLOB_COLUMN FROM CLOB_TABLE;";
 $rs = fbsql_query($sql, $link);
 $row_data = fbsql_fetch_row($rs);
 // $row_data[0] will now contain the clob data for the first row
 fbsql_free_result($rs);
 
 $rs = fbsql_query($sql, $link);
 fbsql_set_lob_mode($rs, FBSQL_LOB_HANDLE);
 $row_data = fbsql_fetch_row($rs);
 // $row_data[0] will now contain a handle to the CLOB data in the first row
 $clob_data = fbsql_read_clob($row_data[0]);
 fbsql_free_result($rs);
 
 ?>
