title: Where to store images on a filesystem on webserver
body: <p>Where exactly do I store images on a webserver if not in my MySQL database? I've been told that storing images as a BLOB in a DB is bad practice.</p>
  
  <p>Also, how do I store references to these images in a DB? If I have a food_items table, can the table look like this?</p>
  
  <p>Food Items</p>
  
  <p>Id | Name | Description | Price | ImageURL</p>
  
  <p>1 | chicken | tasty | 100 | www.myurl.com/folderwithimages/image.jpg ??</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
