I trying to download a BLOB from my web page i have successfully uploaded files to the database but when i'm downloading im encountering problems

showfiles.php that list al the files in the DB table (this works properly)
<?php
// Database connection variables
#connect to MySQL
$conn = @mysql_connect("***", "***","***")
or die("Could not Connect");

#select the specified database
$rs = @mysql_select_db("***", $conn)
or die("Could not select specified");

$dbQuery = "SELECT blobId, blobTitle, blobType ";
$dbQuery .= "FROM myBlobs ";
$dbQuery .= "ORDER BY blobTitle ASC";
$result = mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Couldn't get file list");

?>

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">

<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>

<tr>

</a></font>
</td>
</tr>

<?php
}
echo "</table>";
?>


downloadfile.php causes me problems it outputs the error Invalid blobId specified
<?php
global $blobId;

if(!is_numeric($blobId))
die("Invalid blobId specified");

// Database connection variables
#connect to MySQL
$conn = @mysql_connect("****", "***","***")
or die("Could not Connect");
#select the specified database
$rs = @mysql_select_db("***", $conn)
or die("Could not select specified");

$dbQuery = "SELECT blobType, blobData ";
$dbQuery .= "FROM myBlobs ";
$dbQuery .= "WHERE blobId = $blobId";
$result = mysql_query($dbQuery) or die("Couldn't get file list");

if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
{
$fileType = @mysql_result($result, 0, "blobType");
$fileContent = @mysql_result($result, 0, "blobData");

header("Content-type: $fileType");
echo $fileContent;
}
else
{
echo "Record doesn't exist.";
}

?>

The error that I see is that your showfiles.php script is using "fileId" as the variable name:
<a href="downloadfile.php?fileId=<?php echo $row["blobId"]; ?>">


in downloadfile.php you are checking for the variable "blobId":
if(!is_numeric($blobId))
die("Invalid blobId specified");

The fact that you are relying on register globals makes my skin itch a little too, but I will make the assumption that you know about the security implications and that you know what you are doing.
