You better make sure that it is documented well. I'm not argiung that programming simplicity and efficiency should be sacrificed to system efficiency. I'm arguiing that your perspective is one that assumes that files will only ever be touched by a PHP application doing database queries. I believe file system interactions -- especially in a domain where files may be used by different applications -- are better understood and better known than they are database interactions. > So, you would prefer storing the uploaded file in your directory than a > database? Have you tried either method? Yes, of course. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
