[SOLVED] Images and MYSQL databases

[seadog]

In the project im working on i want the user to select where they are from based off a flag image.  Im quite lost on how this will work. Do i have to put the flag images into the database?

There are 3 approaches to this

 

• You can save the images in database and retrieve them when needed.
  
• Save them on the disk and save its path in database.
  
• Save the images at a specific location on disk with a specific naming convention e.g. for USA us.jpg, for UK uk.jpg, for Pakistan .pk. And hard code the path in script and get the 2 digit country code from countries table and display the images
