So how do you GET the images into the database? from the filesystem (whether you are uploading through a form or importing it, it's still on the filesystem at some point). Generate the exif once (using your tempnam workaround) then update the database.. so you only need to do it once. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
