Firstly, images ARE binary files no matter which way you look at it. How
else do store images if they are not in binary?
What I think you want to ask is
Can mysql store images? YES
Can mysql display it as an actual image? NO
You can use the blob type to store images. You'll find this in the manual.
But the way you are doing it now is perfectly ok. You may even find it a
little quicker then storing it in a database.
