# pg_lo_read

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)

pg_lo_read -- Read a large object

## Description

string pg_lo_read ( resource large_object, int len)

pg_lo_read() reads at most `len` bytes from a large object and returns it as a string. `large_object` specifies a valid large object resource and`len` specifies the maximum allowable size of the large object segment. It returns `FALSE` if there is an error.

To use the large object (lo) interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.

> Note: This function used to be called `pg_loread()`.
