Okay I am really excited and I know if your reading this then your probable going to think I’m dumb but that’s a risk that I’m willing to take. I found a tutorial on here that shows you how to create an XML file from your mySQL database. This is cool for me because I want to be able to have my client upload thier pictures and store them in a database and then i can use the XML Photogallery with thumbnails. But first before I do any of this I need to know how to actually place images in a mySQL database 😃

Now I know what your saying to yourself…“My God! how does this man not know how to do this?” But this is my first time really working with databases.

Any help would … help 🙂

Thanks in advance
