Insert Text AND Image to Databse then Display

[ste9890]

Before I start I'm a bit of a PHP/MYSQL newbie.

 

I have created a simple blog/news feed using PHP and MYSQL:

http://stephengreig.co.uk/newjack/blog.php

 

Currently I can insert the news post details into the database table and the news feed will update.

 

What I want to do is create a form where a user can input the post title and text as well as upload an image (which is the main bit I'm having trouble with). When submitted this form then inserts the data into the database and updates the news feed page.

 

My database table for the news post is simply: id, postdate, title, newstext.

Do I simply add another field for image with a BLOB type? Or does the image need its own table?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
