First we modify the file and use process($directory) to save the file to the server.
Then, we modify the file again as we did before, and use process() to save the contents of the file to the database as a BLOB.
So we're writing the same code twice (unless of course we create a single function to handle the image modification, and then call that function twice.) Let me know if I understand that correctly.
BTW, the only reason I'm saving the file to the database is because it's part of my masters degree project to compare image retrieval performance between the server and the database. But normally I would never do that in practice.
But in fact, you can simply retrieve the image content as in my code example, calling process() without an argument, and then you can save the return value to the database, and dump it to the disk too, using for instance imagepng() or any other PHP image functions.
Sa you can call process() once, and save the image content several times if you wish.
