Please support binary

[lavvy]

In frontend apps like Php , we deal with images and graverters so much. Please could you add an inserting and retrieving of a binary data like image or graverter .

What is a graveters ?
Perhaps you should use base64 to encode images before inserting them into database.

Oh wow am sorry I mean to say avatar. What am trying to achieve with Php is how it is achieved here on a png file on filesystem. https://www.rethinkdb.com/api/python/binary/ Meanwhile thanks for the prompt response cos I was scared if people are deserting rethinkdb (which I think, it's a thinking that came before it's time)

I'm still using it. Rdb is not dead.
I pusheds a few PRs and I'm waiting them to be pushed to master.

According to http://danielmewes.dnsalias.net/~daniel/php-rql-api/, you have the r\binary method that looks the same as what you have in the python API.

Don't know if I am the only one not seeing binary in that long list of apis . The closest insert I saw was this Example: Insert a document into the table posts. r\table("posts")->insert(array( 'id' => 1, 'title' => "Lorem ipsum", 'content' => "Dolor sit amet" ))->run($conn) And I am trying to figure out how to put a binary data in that query

Replace your value with r\binary(file_get_contents('./myfile')) and that's it.
