RE: [PHP-DB] Storing images in a database table, should it be done? From: Cal Evans (cal <email protected>)

Generically speaking, when faced with the option of putting graphics in a
Blob field or putting a pointer to them and storing them on the file system,
I have always chosen to store a pointer in the database and store the image
on the file system.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Storeing images in a database table, should it be
done?

Currently working on a site that will enable a paintball (or other type)
team to have there own site on the net.

They will all follow the same format and was thinking about putting there
images into a database table. I'm not asking how to do it, just should i do
it and what performance impact will it have.

I'm just thinking that it will be easier to manage an admin system if
everything is in a database and will therefore not have to worry about file
permissions etc.

Thanks,
        William.
