I am creating images via GD and want to save them to the database. Right
now
I save them to the disk and then save them to the database. Is it
possible
to write them directly to the database and skip the middle step where I
temporary write it to the hard disk?

1. Do not store images in a database, it is just a bad idea from a
performance perspective (as has been covered many times heretofore).
2. If you insist on storing the image in a database you can use any of
the image output functions, for instance;
INSERT INTO
table (picture)
VALUE ('".imagegd($resource, 'imagename')."')
