    Default Looking for coder or script

    I am looking for a coder or script that can pull pictures out of a database and scroll them across the header of my site. I run a car sales site and want to be able to show off all my inventory.

    Do you have PHP enabled on your server? If so, have a look at http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/ for info on getting data from a database. As for the scrolling across the header part, try looking through this category of DD.

    Hope this helps.

    Is it even possible to store images in a MySql database?

    Yes it is possible; however it is even harder to extract the images once inserted in the database (and not wise to do so). Take a look at this page:

    Also, I think it would be a better idea to store the links to the images instead of the actual image in the database.

    Store links. It'll be a lot less server intensive, faster for the user, and it will be easier to code. There is also no downside.
