Saving word document into blob field in Oracle

[dpreiss]

I'm stuck using oracle and php.

I'm trying to save a word document that a user uploads (the field name in the form is lob_resume) into an oracle table.

I'm getting the following error:

"Warning: ociexecute() [function.ociexecute]: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-00911: invalid character on line 62"

Any help will be much appreciated...

Here is my code:

$filename = $_FILES['lob_resume']['tmp_name'];
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$str = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

$str = addslashes($str);
$str = str_replace("'","''",$str);

	$lob = OCINewDescriptor($inet_database, OCI_D_LOB);
	$stmt = OCIParse($inet_database, 'INSERT INTO ATRK_RSM (RSM_ID,ATRK_ID,USR_ID,REQ_ID,CRE_BY,CRE_DTM,RSM) 
			VALUES(ATRK_RSM_SEQ.nextval,123,$EMPID,$REQNUM,123,SYSDATE,EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING RSM INTO :BLOBDATA');
	OCIBindByName($stmt, ':BLOBDATA', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
	OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT) or die("did not work");


	if ($lob->save($str)) {
	OCICommit($inet_database); 
	echo "File upload successful!";
	}
	else { 
	echo "\nCouldn't upload Resume\n"; exit;
	}
	$lob->free();
	OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
