The way the image data gets to you is completely independent of the way it's stored. You can certainly have the user upload the file through a form and then have your form-handling program write the data to a file somewhere on your server while storing the file name or path in the database. It sounds like your main problem is how to get the contents of the uploaded file in your form-handling program, but that has nothing to do with MySQL and depends on what language and modules you're using. You'd do better asking on a list devoted to PHP or Perl or whatever you're using. [Filter fodder: SQL] -- Keith C.
