What are you storing in your database, just a filename or binary BLOB data?

As a Binary BLOB data

You have to subclass CI_Image_lib and rewrite the following functions (assuming you are using GD):

Code:

function image_process_gd($action = 'resize')
function image_create_gd($path = '', $image_type = '')

In your own image manipulation functions, you have to use imagecreatefromstring() to create an image from the database.

But I recommend storing the images as "real" files on your harddrive and insert just the filenames into the database!
