Re: [PHP-DB] Saving Image in mySQL

[Jim Giner]

Absolutely - do not store any images in a db.  Makes no sense.  The data 
(the image) is static, basically safe from alteration or changing in any 
way, so what is the need?  Save the location/name of the image only and 
store all of them in one (or more) secured folders on the server.  No db 
overhead, no potential roadblocks as you grow your data tables and no 
excess time spent by the os storing and retrieving from the db.

Really - not a good idea.
