What data type to use in MySQL to store images?

Question

Hi friends,

I need to store image and resume of user in the data base.

I am using mysql data base and php5. I need to know which data types I should use.

And also how do I set a limit (maximum size) for uploaded data.

Answer 1

What you need, according to your comments, is a 'BLOB' (Binary Large OBject) for both image and resume.
