Re: DB vs file

I think a simple file is better, as it is easier to use doesn't use many resources. If you save it in a DB, you have to use a PHP script every time you need an image (bad for your resources). Apart from that, if you store images in a db it'll slow down that db quite a bit, because images usually are relatively big. You also need more space (be it not much) because of the PHP script you need to retrieve the image from the db. As far as I know images are not bigger in databases than in usual files, but I'm not sure.
