if you want to store an image to a database, solution is very simple, you just need to store the path to that image into your DB, not the actual image, for example if the path to your image is img/flower.png, then you need to store it into your database as a varchar 'img/flower.png', the actual image will remain in your hosted server inside img folder. I have had dynamic projects before that I needed to retrieve images from a database and that was achievable by storing the path. hope this helps
