title: Is it wise to store base64 encoded images inside a database?
body: <p>I'm making an android application which takes a photo and push the image (as a base64 encoded string) to a PHP script, from here I'll be storing data about the image inside a MySQL database.</p>
  
  <p>Would it be wise to store the image inside the database (since it's passed as a base64 string), would it be better to convert it back to an image and store it on the filesystem?</p>
