Format of file uploaded at server

[Ved Prakash]

I am uploading a file from my mobile app by HTTPPOST method. As well as I am developing PHP code to to store the file in MySQL database. Can I know the format of the file/data need to be send?
Thanks in advance.

it depends on the file. if it's a text file save it as a text data type, otherwise save it as binary data type.
