TGWSE_GY Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi Guys, My question is, what is better option A) Store the users image in a column in a mysql database using BLOB or option B) Save their image to a directory and store the image name in the database. Or if someone knows an even better way than these two options please let me know.

TGWSE_GY Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 But doesn't that pose a security risk? Just asking because security is high on our priority list Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155201-solved-storing-images-which-is-best/#findComment-816576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's only a security risk if you allow random people access to the filesystem. You would obviously store such files above the document root.
