Re: Upload a file into DB

PHP already provides the OS independence.

It is better practice to store a link in the DB and the file in the
file system.

Accessing the file is also faster, as it doesn't have to go through the
database.

Backing up shouldn't be an issue. Backups should be done by scripts,
at the most you should only have to click a button or run a command to
perform a back up.

Why don't you upload the file to some folder and then insert link of it
to DB?
