Regardless of whether this is a good idea or not, it's fairly easy. Store the file data itself (accessible via fopen($whatever)) in a longblob, then write it back with the appropriate headers ("Content-type: iamge/jpeg" or whatever) when the time comes. I'd be happy to provide examples if anyone is curious.
