I'm working with both PHP, and MySQL. I'm relatively new to this, and I'm trying to figure out how to best do this.

I've created the form add script that can accept the of employees, and now I need to figure some method of storing and retrieving resumes. I need the resumes to preferably be in .rtf, or .doc format.

The two methods I've looked at so far have been to create a text field where they can paste the resume. But then I need to come up with some way to preserve the formatting to store it into MySQL, and I'm not certain how to do that.

The second method I looked into was using the Blob Databype of MySQL, But then I'm not certian of how to upload the files to the database, and then how to retrieve them again. Also someone mentioned that Blob datatypes create a noticeably high server load.

So what I'm looking for is some example scripts of how to pull off what I mentioned above, or suggestions of some better methods and some heads up on how to pull off your ideas.
