Hi Mark, Why don't just store the references (i.e. locations) to your images in mysql,..... As far as I know it is not very practical to really store the images 'data' in your DBMS!? I am actually involved in a (online (image))morphing website. Here we dynamicly create images morphed out of two images, dynamicly give the new images an name and store them on a location; name and location are enough within this environment to store in the database and work with the images. I hope my suggestion gives you a hint on how you could deal with such a matter. If, in a particular case there is a real need to store the image 'data' in a field, I am intrested and would like to now the purpose for this.
