The way the image data gets to you is completely independent of the
way it's stored.  You can certainly have the user upload the file
through a form and then have your form-handling program write the
data to a file somewhere on your server while storing the file name
or path in the database.

It sounds like your main problem is how to get the contents of the
uploaded file in your form-handling program, but that has nothing to
do with MySQL and depends on what language and modules you're using.
You'd do better asking on a list devoted to PHP or Perl or whatever
you're using.
