What is the best way to upload and store pictures on the site?

Question

I have no idea how the big websites save the pictures on their servers. Could any one tell me how do they save the pictures that are uploaded by the users in their database?

Answer 1

is this the right way to do

Yes.
The only thing I'd suggest to use not name but id.
www.photos.com/albums/1234/ would be okay for starter.
