as far as I know, this depends heavily on your database type.

I work with oracle, there you can use blob fields and the like, but it's terribly complicated, so we chose to store the images in our file system and just enter the filename into the db.

better look up your database reference.

It's actually not that difficult, it is just a very very very bad idea.

if you are using mysql all you do is make one of the fields in your table into a longblob say "image LONGBLOB" and then save the file to it through a form upload if you like.

But i wouldnt recommend doing that, i have just started doing this stuff recently and if there one thing that people have told me its not to put images in your database. This probably doesnt help any but better to get it rihgt first time i think.
