Web image database questions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

A friend of mine would like to use PHP/MySQL to host a web based photo
archive. I believe it will hold around 20,000 to 30,000 photos at a
reasonable size for web display - perhaps 100 k or so each.  I expect he'd
have a small preview 'clickable' to a larger version.

I searched the list archives for help but have still come up with two
questions;

For the type and quantity of content, would blob storage of the images be
best or should he use OS/directory storage and display them by calling the
file path?

Is there an easy way to upload an entire folder of images into a MySQL db?
(I've checked hotscripts.com etc but most of the image stuff only handled
single image uploads)

Cheers and thanks

Kim
