hello,
I am a PHP newbie currently learning on my own image uploading script. I need somebody to answer a question about dealing with PHP image uploading:

I understand there are 2 ways to upload images to the server using php. One is to the database, one is to the directory/folder. which one is better when you talk about uploading thousand of images? are there any tutorial on how this is done?

thank you

The best way

Using a database is not a good solution if you are using a very big amount of images.

The best way is to upload the image to a local dir and make a reference to it on the Database.

Search the forum for for the solution. :D

hope it helps
