For storing image to database , you can do like this :

1. First upload the image in to you server.You can done this with this code

    $info = pathinfo($_FILES['userFile']['name']); $ext = $info['extension']; // get the extension of the file $newname = "newname.".rand(0,999).$ext; $target = 'images/'.$newname; move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['userFile']['tmp_name'], $target)

2. Now store the image path that is in $target variable to you DB then you can get the image through the image path.
