Best Strategy for Image Uploads
Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2010 6:14 am
Hello,
I want to be able to allow people to upload their profile pictures to my site, but I am uncertain about the best way to do this. I basically want to have a thumbnail and larger profile picture, but control how big they can be in both file size and dimensions. I’m thinking about storing each photo in a blob field in MySQL, but I’m not sure what the best strategy will be regarding maintenance, long-term impact, etc.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
