If you are trying to write a single field which is above max_allowed_packet then this function will not help you (contrary to what the documentation example seems to show above).
Parameters in MySQL are still restricted by max_allowed_packet on a per-field basis so you will get an error like:
“mysqli_sql_exception: Parameter of prepared statement which is set through mysql_send_long_data() is longer than 'max_long_data_size' bytes”
The only real use case for this function seems to be if you are writing multiple long fields which when combined would go over max_allowed_packet.
To ChrisH's note, you must call this function multiple times with the same $param_nr, to send the first max_allowed_packet bytes, then the next, and so on. So you might need to do a for loop over changing substr() indexes, or etc.
send_long_data() these function is normaly used to store Data in Binary blob field. But if the table is UTF8 and connection charset it does not expect binary data (for example images) it take utf8 Data.
This mean you have to do utf8_encode bevore sending binary data.
