I would recommend not using the BLOB to store the image in. It can dramatically increase the size of your database and FAST! I would recommend uploading the images to the server and only storing the path to the image in the database.

thank your advise friend, but I dont know how to upload with the other text data and then display the current image for the current data.example.

ID = 1001
Name = Valencia
Image = Val.jpg
