ibase_blob_get - Get len bytes data from open blob

SYNOPSIS
       string ibase_blob_get (resource	$blob_handle, int  $len)

DESCRIPTION
	This function returns at most $len bytes from a BLOB that has been opened for reading by ibase_blob_open(3).

       Note

	       It is not possible to read from a BLOB that has been opened for writing by ibase_blob_create(3).

PARAMETERS
	      o $blob_handle
		- A BLOB handle opened with ibase_blob_open(3).

	      o $len
		- Size of returned data.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns at most $len bytes from the BLOB, or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      ibase_blob_get(3) example

	      <?php
	      $result	 = ibase_query("SELECT blob_value FROM table");
	      $data	 = ibase_fetch_object($result);
	      $blob_data = ibase_blob_info($data->BLOB_VALUE);
	      $blob_hndl = ibase_blob_open($data->BLOB_VALUE);
	      echo	   ibase_blob_get($blob_hndl, $blob_data[0]);
	      ?>
	Whilst	this  example  doesn't	do much more than a 'ibase_blob_echo($data->BLOB_VALUE)' would do, it does show you how to get information
       into a $variable to manipulate as you please.
