I have a website running on Apache. There is a limit on the files in folder - 32000. i have 29000 so far. What is the best way to deal with it?
And does anybody know how to manage BLOB?
Thank you.
Too many pictures in a folder.

Just a note: In my experience, storing images in a database, while handy, will increase the time it takes for a client to fully download the image. It takes longer to pull the data out of the db and send it to the browser, than it does to just send the file location to the browser. I'm not saying using a DB is a bad idea, in fact it sounds like the best possible idea, but just a warning that page load times will increase.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
