Server: Msg 2739, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid for local variables.

So, the solution in SQL 2005 is to declare a nvarchar(max) variable to hold the string. More information can be read here.

At first, I thought it was something to do with being penalised by Google due to some issues but then I didn’t put much attention as I believe, great content will always rule at the end since it is not the first time Google changed/ tested their algorithms, etc. But then when I scanned through my templates, boom! I realised that the footer template had been modified with huge bunch of spammy codes/ external links to these credit cards, loans website. WTF? Now this is why my site’s been penalised. I have no idea since when this was put in and whoever did that, screw him!

So how do you prompt to download recognized file types? One way is to just tell your users, “Right-click and choose Save As”. Of course, that is not as fool-proof as you’d like.

The other option is to use a scripting language to stream the file to the browser. Below I’m going to post an example to serve an image (could be gif or jpg). This technique can be used to serve PDF, Excel, Word docs, etc., but you have to figure out the correct Content-Type for each.

[START PHP]
$data = file_get_contents(”img/my_image.jpg”);
header(”Content-Type: image/jpeg”);
header(”Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=my_image.jpg”);
echo $data;
[END PHP]
