pg_lo_write — Write to a large object
pg_lo_write(PgSql\Lob $lob, string $data, ?int $length = null): int|false
pg_lo_write() writes data into a large object at the current seek position.
To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.
Note:
This function used to be called pg_lowrite().
lobAn PgSql\Lob instance, returned by pg_lo_open().
data The data to be written to the large object. If length is an int and is less than the length of data, only length bytes will be written.
length An optional maximum number of bytes to write. Must be greater than zero and no greater than the length of data. Defaults to the length of data.
The number of bytes written to the large object, or false on error.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 | The lob parameter expects an PgSql\Lob instance now; previously, a resource was expected. |
| 8.0.0 | length is now nullable. |
