I am trying to save some png images in my database, but from the error i get
near 'æÓ' at line 1
i assume it's a collation problem. The collation is set to utf8_general_ci. What collation should i use for images?
If you really have to use images in an SQL database you should use BLOB field not TEXT.
The best practice is to store only the paths to the images, not the images themselves.
