How do sites deal with uploading and storing images? If I want to make a site where users can upload images how would I manage that?

you store the ids in a database..
then you can sort the pictures however you want, probably by ip or username
and rewrite /filename.jpg to file/?get=filename which returns the picture

Thanks you. I have no idea what I'm doing here. How/where are the images stored? They aren't stored in a database right?

in folders on your servers harddrive.. ever thought of googling "php uploading script" ? guess not.
