Uploading and displaying Jpeg images through Path reference /text from mysql

Hello There, I wondered if any one could help me with this problem. I am helping a friend with his web site which is a content management system. to tell you the truth i am a beginner in Php/Mysql and this is my first experience. The table is called REPORT and it has a Field for REPORT_Title another for The REPORT itself and 9 fields to upload IMAGES with 9 corresponding fields to describe the 9 images. This REPORT table is linked to another Table for categories called CAT to choose the catagorie. The question is how will i put this to gether, I have spend my whole day looking for answer. Due to Size limitation 4Go per table in MySql, I chose not to insert as binary(BLOB) instead Through path reference of the image.As it's possible to insert hundreds of articles with images. To be on the safe side i prefer to use the Path reference techniques. I thank you'll in advance for your advice. GD
