HI,
I have just got an idea and i want to execute it if it is possible with your help as u know there are many social community these days and its very hard to load pics on all sites i m thinking to create php script which allow user to upload pic on one site and it will generate ghost file for it with extension jpeg or gif which will be only 1 kb so if person want to load pic on any other website we will just upload ghost file
ghost file will read image from server and dsplay their
please give me ur feeback
thanks

Why would you need a file as a pointer to an image thats on a server. Thats what a URL is for...

Ok, let me put it this way:
Normally you have an image. You upload it to a site.
Your way, you upload an image to a server, get a file back, and then upload it to a site. With DSL speeds what they are these days I see no benefit.
What would be easier is if facebook etc allowed you to post images from other sites using a url rather than what seems to be an extremely complicated way of going about things by creating mini files etc.

yes u are rite ok benfit is centeralizing images just upload and maintain images at one site and upload mini images rest of sites u have original images at server no need to keep on ur local pc and second biggest challnge is when we load images on server for 5 or 6 images it should generate 1 mini image file ... so now if we want to load 5 or 6 images we need to just load 1 mini image file
---
image server having all images with folders for each folder u can get mini image file and load it any where email it to any one
do u still think it will be waste of time ?

In my opinion, yes. If faceboook and other sites wanted you to be able to host an image on a central server and hotlink it to them, they would allow you to put a URL in aswell as uploading files. If they did, people would then use imageshack or an alternative.
The reason they dont allow you to do this is for many reasons, from not wanting to have remotely hosted data, to not wanting people to have control over the image once it's been posted.
Your mini file system works of the same principle as a remotely hosted image on an image hosting site (Except for batching multiple images), so would suffer the same fate from such social netorking and other sites.
As for emailing people, you can send people a URL a lot more easily then a file (Which could easily be mistaken as a virus).
