SharkBait Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I just read a couple of threads where people use MySQL to store their images.Is this done my actually storing the data within the image in the database? I normally upload the image to a directory and store only the name, filetype, filesize in the database.What are the pros/cons of each way of handling this?
