Uploading to a mySQL Database using PHP

Ok well i'm sure there is plenty of places to find this, but it seems its hard to find a simple answer to my question.  I've created a way to upload files to a database using this [url=http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/php-mysql-upload.php]http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/php-mysql-upload.php[/url].  Its an easy to follow and understand.  My question is, where could i modify the code in this tutorial to make it to where i can upload images.  To clarify, you can upload any file you want, but it only displays as a text link.  It would be nice to upload an image and it display as an image link. Look this webpage that i built [url=http://www.mcneesesga.com/redesign/senate.php]http://www.mcneesesga.com/redesign/senate.php[/url].  You will see the text links under the place that i assigned.  If anyone knows a simple way or a easy way to do this, let me know ASAP!

Thanks,
