I will assume you know how to make an html img tag.

 

An image is a file. 

 

Here is the relevant page for building an upload form file-upload

 

Typically people store the filename or a link to the filename.  I'm going to assume you understand how to use mysql to update a column in the profile row.

 

Sometimes they may need to resize the image to fit constraints.  You can use http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php or http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick

 

 

To save effort, you can also look at using www.gravatar.com since these days many people will have their e-mail address associated with a Gravatar account. Of course many places will offer this in addition to custom uploading of an avatar. But a lot of the time people just can't be bothered so they use Gravatar. :)
