I still hold that it is better not to do all of this, but maybe we must all go through the exercise so we know how anyway :)

Actually the application that I am writing storing as a BLOB is better than writing anything to the file system. The application I am writing is for canine rescue to be able to describe a dog up for adoption and upload an image file with the dog's picture for prospective adopters to be able to view.

I'm not crazy about the implications of having a CGI script write an uploaded image file to the file systems. System hacks have been done that way. Better to write it to a RDBMS table where it is less likly to do any harm.
