Hi,
I am creating a website where users will be able to submit forms. In the form they will be able to submit text and uploaded images. With regards to uploaded images, once they are submitted, what is the best way to save them? Is it to a MySQL database or save it to the disk itself.
Could someone give an example of whichever way is the best way? Any help is appreciated.

Jump to PostMy view is that the image is best saved on to the hard drive and a link to the image gets saved into the database. You'll save space in your DB and speed up any queries that are run to find the image.

Very agree, if the database server grows loo large in size it will consume too much cpu resources, that's very dangerous
