How to display images withing mysql table

I created a table called dictionary, and one of the field name is images. Withing this field I want to store different images not very big images.
Is it possible to store images within a table?? If yes how?
If not how else can I display this images.

Storing the file as a binary object, blob in mysql.

Give it some thought! Storing binary data in a database can be a huge performance hit. Unless you need to have this in a database, it is better to store just the url in the database and have the images at a common place in the file system.

Can you tell me the syntax to store the url within a database field name.
Also the problem is I need to display more than one image withing the same field!!!
for eg. for record 1, I probabley need to store 6 letters which means 6 different images.

shoould be the same as storing any data in the database, but when you call it back out, put it in your <a href>php </a>
