When user uploads file, save it in server, show only link to it. When saved text from editor, you save only link (with rest of text). File is still on server.

But if you really need to make your database huge and slowly, read uploaded file with file_get_contents , that convert it to base64 and save to database long string (no idea why it's better).

TinyMCE don't need file content in <textarea> .
