# pg_lo_import

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)

pg_lo_import -- Import a large object from file

## Description

int pg_lo_import ( [resource connection, string pathname])

In versions before PHP 4.2.0 the syntax of this function was different, see the following definition:

int pg_lo_import ( string pathname [, resource connection])

The `pathname` argument specifies the pathname of the file to be imported as a large object. It returns `FALSE` if an error occurred, oid of the just created large object otherwise.

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

> Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.

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

See also pg_lo_export() and pg_lo_open().
