Just one last thing can you store pictures in an mysql. I know you can in ORACLE you can store the pictures as BLOBs. I have loads of images on my c: drive I would like to store in mysql DB.
I'm hoping I can get PHP to insert them into a table for me.

Re: any PHP,Phpmyadmin and mysql experts here?
 

Yes you can.

Perhaps you should read the mysql documentation. :)

FYI - vbulletin runs on PHP/MYSQL

Re: any PHP,Phpmyadmin and mysql experts here?
 

For pictures to be stored into a database they generally need to be converted from binary data to some sort of text format, generally they are encoded (like in an email) which tends to increase the size of the file somewhat! You'd be much better leaving the pictures where they are.

Re: any PHP,Phpmyadmin and mysql experts here?
 

No conversion is needed in mysql, they are stored as binary data in blob fields.
