I don't recommend storing the data in the DB (on to that later) also are you using MySQL??
Storing the data in the database is a pain and causes issues with migrating databases and backups.
Its rather simple actually you simply upload the image, give it a random name and save it to a directory (out of htdocs) recording the name along with any other data in the database. Then you have a php script that makes itself a image:

 header('Type: image\png'); 

And then grabs the row from the database before finding the right file and displaying it.
