pg_lo_import() creates a new large object
in the database using a file on the filesystem as its data
source.
To use the large object interface, it is necessary to
enclose it within a transaction block.
Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether
the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the
script that is being executed.
Note:
This function used to be called pg_loimport().
Parameters
connection
PostgreSQL database connection resource. When
connection
is not present, the default connection
is used. The default connection is the last connection made by
pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().
pathname
The full path and file name of the file on the client
filesystem from which to read the large object data.
object_id
If an object_id
is given the function
will try to create a large object with this id, else a free
object id is assigned by the server. The parameter
was added in PHP 5.3 and relies on functionality that first
appeared in PostgreSQL 8.1.
Return Values
The OID of the newly created large object, or
FALSE on failure.
