Good or bad plan? image bin to mysql??

[louis_coetzee]

Hi guys, please tell me what you think.....

 

$fp = fopen($filename, 'rb') or die("Image '$filename' not found!");

$buf = '';

while(!feof($fp))

$buf .= fgets($fp, 4096);

 

Take $buf to mysql????? or rather just store the image somewhere on the server?????

I want to resample image smaller as thumbs. anyway.

I would personally just store the path to the image in the table and store the image in a folder.

 

I've done that several times and it works perfectly. It also means that the DB is smaller as an image would be quite big in the table.
