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.

in my own opinion, i prefer saving in a folder on the server and storing the file name on the database because i don't want to bog down my database but again it just my own opinion you can take a look at these links
