images in tbale columns

[kehers]

is it possible to save or say put an image in a table column as with texts? what i do is insert the image name in it and put the image itself in a folder, but just thinking puting it in the mysql table itself will be easier if possible...need help on this

Yes, in table you have to create fields to hold information
ex.:

Image_Id
Image_Name
Image_Desc
Image_Itself - LONGBLOB type column for binary data

But i suggest that you should omit this way of keeping data.
Use traditional way to put image path in table - it'll be faster to retrieve (assume that you have jpg in table - when user select record with image - image goes from database through php and finally to user - when you use path the php and mysql doesn't have to consume memory on retrieving image)
