Here is an example to store blob image in CouchDB using PHP Laravel. In this example, I am storing three images based on user requirements.

Establishing the connection in CouchDB.

$connection = DB::connection('your database name');

/*region Fetching the Uers Uploaded Images*/

$FirstImage = base64_encode(file_get_contents(Input::file('FirstImageInput')));
$SecondImage =base64_encode(file_get_contents(Input::file('SecondImageInput')));
$ThirdImage = base64_encode(file_get_contents(Input::file('ThirdImageInput')));

list($id, $rev) = $connection->putDocument(array(
    'name' => $name,
    'location' => $location,
    'phone' => $phone,
    'website' => $website,
    "_attachments" =>[
        'FirstImage.png' => [
            'content_type' => "image/png",
            'data' => $FirstImage
        ],
        'SecondImage.png' => [
            'content_type' => "image/png",
            'data' => $SecondImage
        ],
        'ThirdImage.png' => [
            'content_type' => "image/png",
            'data' => $ThirdImage
        ]
    ],
), $id, $rev);

...

same as you can store single image.
