Picture management

Post by pinehead18 »

[Moved by moderator to PHP - Code forum]
I'm curious, i'm wanting to create a small image archive for a photo journalist. What is the best way to upload images to a website via mobile phone? And how should they be stored, archived in a file directory or stored in a db?

Thanks for your thoughts.

This should give you an insight about uploading files on phones, both on phones that support WAP and XHTML.

In my opinion, images should always be stored in the filesystem, not in the database. But that's just me, I've always thought it'd be faster that way. I have no data to back it up, though.

Yes, store the images on the file system. Store the image name/path to image in the database.
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
