A better practice is to put the image name into your database.
Also much easyer. [/quote]


I also agree, but sometimes its not possible...[/quote]

What's not possible?
store the image names into a database?
Or am i reading your reply wrong?[/quote]


of course its possible store the image names into a db, but in some projects its necessary to save the image as blob...[/quote]

I can not imagine any kind of project/application you need to store images into a database. First of all it's a big opperation for a database to fetch the data, and second a database is not designed for that kind of operations (in my opionion ofcourse).
If you are affraid that they steal your images, then you beter can not put it online i think. But maybe you can explain some more why there are applications/projects that need to?
