If you're uploading a file then you can make a script that reads the
temp file into the database (otherwise you need to muck around with
image functions and I'm not the one to ask about that), something
like:
$image = mysql_escape_string(fread(fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],
r),
HEre is a question that I have been wondering about:
- Does the image file use more space in the db or as a file itself
(Do Not count the extra data that one would store in the db along with
the image... ie. ID number)
Thanks

While better asked on a SQL list, I'll give you an answer
I'm not any kind of expert on this, but you just read the file byte
for byte, dont you? So it should be the same amount of data.

Images take up more space when stored in the db, because you're storing raw
binary data. Gif and jpeg are compression methods that convert binary data
into something smaller that can be stored in a file.
The recent tests I did took 270megs of images and stored them into 180megs
of jpg files.

If you store a jpeg file into a

Do you know of a good tutorial on this topic.

I'm no certified expert, but preference would be storing a URL to an image
in the database rather than the image itself.
If however you do want to store them in the db try using a blob column type.
This article is PHP3 but shows the basics:

I hope that there are others out there that could weigh in on this topic please
The more information and perspective I have the better as it would
help me build the most informed decision as posible.

1) there is no need to fiddle with directory permissions to write images.
2) if the content is sensitive you have the added security of the database
password (and the fact that the database is ususally not directly
accessible).
3) a mysqldump gives a backup of all images along with other
12 matches
