You can do upload images functionality in two ways:

1. You store your image in folder and then save that path in database.

2. Directly you can store image in database.

First way is always recommended. Because if you store your image in database then it will become huge and slow.

For the first way, db column data type would be BLOB,TINYBLOB,MEDIUMBLOB,LONGBLOB .
For the second way, db column data type would be varchar or text .
