PHP does not use strict variable's types, so it's no difference for php in a
data retreived from Interbase's BLOB field, or, say, MySQL TEXT field. You'll
get the same data. The bad thing is that Interbase is poorly supported by PHP,
especially by PHP4.0 ... A lot of things currently don't work, others have not
been documented yet. Well, now IB going open sourse, so I hope some movement to
begin ...
