or making my laptop a server >> I dont get that... do you have a server and php, and mysql server ?
As said Nirajan, the good way to do that is to store the path in DB, and the file itself in the folder you want. You will then use the field with the path to display your image :
for $image in $imagesList // *pseudo code*
endfor
A quick search on the web will help you to find out the "real code" to do that !
