I agree with the others, don't try to store the picture in the db. What I did was provide a place for users to log-in to my site, when they signed up, I created a folder (using their username since that had to be unique). When they uploaded their pictures, I put the pictures in their folder and then just put the path (/username/pic1.jpg) into the db as a string.

I use a MySQL DB to store all the info of the available aircraft. Now, I would like to store pictures directly inside that same table, so that on the "details" page, it would provide a picture out of (for example) Field5. Is this possible and if so how? (I tried blob etc., but can't get it to work). Thanx, Jacco -- http://seabird.jmtech.ca Attitude is Everything! But Remember, Attitudes are Contagious!
