I am trying to create a document store that will allow people to upload
documents to a website by dragging and dropping them on a certain

kept directly in the mySQL database as binaries.
I have been told you can do this with ASP, can it be done with PHP?
Saving binary files in a database is hell. It really is. The speed is a
lot slower, keeping the future in mind it will also be easier and moe
maintainable if they were actually saved as files rather than in the
database itself.
Upload the file. Save the file name, id number (auto_increment works
well here) to the database. Move the uploaded file to your files folder.
This dramatically decreases the size of your database, and a huge speed
increase will take effect, no matter what size the files are.
