Hey would you say that multi uploads are better done in a mysql database or just uploaded to a directory on a server and linked to a persons details in a mysql server?
If you are really asking, "Is it better to store images in a BLOB field or upload the images to the filesystem?", the general answer is no. In my experience, people generally upload the file to the filesystem and then associate the filename path with a database record. This has the advantage of having the files in a directory (like most people are used to.) However, you have to come up with a schema for not overwriting files (unless you want to.) This is usually trivial, however.
This article argues that storing binary data (images in this case) in a database is not such a bad idea afterall. In the end, you'll decide.
