db2_lob_read — Gets a user defined size of LOB files with each invocation
Use db2_lob_read() to iterate through a specified column of a result set and retrieve a user defined size of LOB data.
stmt
A valid stmt resource containing LOB data.
colnum
A valid column number in the result set of the stmt resource.
length
The size of the LOB data to be retrieved from the stmt resource.
Returns the amount of data the user specifies. Returns
false if the data cannot be retrieved.
Example #1 Iterating through different types of data
