Does anyone know where I can find some good tutorials on how to store images in mysql using php? 

I've heard this is possible but do not know how to do it.

[Haase]

Do you want to store the actual image, or are you just looking to upload the image somewhere and include the name of the image in the database?

i dont really like the idea of storing binary files in database
it makes the db really large, and its more difficult to delete/transfer/move stuffs around

is there really any benefit in doing this?

Caching files with MySQL 4 has its benefits, but I personally would be VERY AFRAID of the table crashing... unduly, maybe, but still afraid.

Look up the BINARY type in MySQL... (I think that's it's name......) and that should be it.... make sure you're using a relatively new version of MySQL because most of the updates fix binary unsafe stuff .

It shouldn't be done.
