title: How to store image files in the backend of a site
body: <p>I'm building a site, and have just started getting into developing the backend.</p>
  
  <p>The point of my site will be to display images to a visitor. For development purposes, I'd like to test everything first before going live. </p>
  
  <p>I'd like to know what the best way of storing these images is. I've just finished setting up my Wamp server, and added a new db with phpMyAdmin. I found that I can store each image directly in the mySQL database as a BLOB data type. But is this the best way to go? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
