Mulitpart form posts and mySQL databases

How are files encoded when theyre sent in mulitpart forms??? Is it the same
as blob fields in mySQL databased when you use the LOAD_FILE() command??

If not, is it easy to convert from one to the other?? At the moment, Im
taking the blob from mySQL and writing it to a file and then uploading that
file through cURL! Very messy.

TIA

The details are here:

but it's best not to re-invent the wheel. Most scripting languages have
built in support or at least add-on modules for dealing with HTTP file
uploads.
