How to upload and display images in mysql

I would like to ask you how can I properly stored an image both in mysql and in a folder at the moment with this code:

<?php

if (isset($_FILES['image']) && $_FILES['image']['size'] > 0) { 

          // Temporary file name stored on the server
          $tmpName  = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];  

          // Read the file 
          $fp     = fopen($tmpName, 'r');
          $data = fread($fp, filesize($tmpName));
          $data = addslashes($data);
          fclose($fp);


          // Create the query and insert
          // into our database.
          $query = "INSERT INTO tbl_images ";
          $query .= "(images) VALUES ('$data')";
          $results = mysql_query($query, $conn);

          // Print results
          print "Thank you, your file has been uploaded.";

}
else {
   print "No image selected/uploaded";
}


if (!mysql_query($sql, $link))
   {
   die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
   }

?>'

Also how properly to display it. My database for the images is id, images. Do I need anything more for the job or that is enough. Thank you.

From the above code, image will be saved in database not in folder. To save in folder you have to use a below code after insert query.

move_uploaded_file($tmpName,"upload/" .$filename );

here upload is folder name.

If you want to store image in database you can use base64_encode method

$image = file_get_contents('filename.gif');
$imencoded = base64_encode($image);   
$query = "INSERT INTO tbl_images ";
$query .= "(images) VALUES ('$imencoded')";

But storing image in db is not recommended and it will not support in IE6 & 7.
