Convert it to a base64 string - be warned it will be big!

Why not just have an upload directory?

OK, Do you have any code for encoding an image to the string and decoding it ?

Its more the norm to use an upload directory.

I have the code for the conversion somewhere, I will try and dig it out tomorrow.
