How would I save each user’s ‘default photo’ onto a website? This same photo may be used during some of their interactions on the site(maybe in a chat session), and it may be displayed on their profile page. Will each user have their own folder? If so, how can I create such a folder. Will this folder stay on ftp? Or MySQL? Will it take any space? As of now, whatever photos are uploaded onto the server, are simply stored in a folder that reads–‘uploadportrait.php’. Where can I go from this? If someone can tell me the general principles of this, then that would be great! Thank you in advance.

If it is just one photo it doesn’t make much sense to create a folder for each user. If you already have a working upload routine, simply store the file path of the uploaded file inside of the user database. You don’t need to duplicate the image then.
