Inserting a PDF Into MSSQL Via PHP

Ever try inserting a pdf in a MSSQL database?

Its not just a simple INSERT. In fact, you have to jump through a number of hoops to get it to work. The included script is invoked with a single argument, the name of the pdf. The script should be edited prior to use so that your database credentials and field names can be set. 

Once it is setup, its as easy as running the script:

chmod x+ insertPDF.php
./insertPDF.php -f fileToInsert.pdf

That's it!

Here's a link to the script:
