Hey

I'm trying to develop a web portal using php 5.2.0. At this web portal I
want to provide users with a picture upload functionality. They can upload
pictures to their profiles etc. I want the pictures to be stored in the
MySql database (storing images in db may not a good thing from a performance
perspective). I'm not sure how to upload a picture file into a MySql
database, so I've been googling for a while. I came accross this great
example
http://wellho.co.uk/solutions/php-example-php-form-image-upload-store-in-mysql-database-retreive.html
I'm wondering if this code actually could work if many users are trying
upload the files simultaneously. Is there a possibility when many uses are
uploading images simultaneously that an image can be uploaded to the wrong
profile?
