How will the picture make it into the db? Will they be uploaded by users? I had to create an upload script for a sight that puts the picture in the users directory on the webserver and then stored the path to the picture in the db so when the web page is displayed, the tag is something like this <img src="<? print myrow["picture1"]; ?>"> . Picture1 just holds the physical address such as /users/eddie/myhouse.jpg. That way, the db isn't huge.
Is that what you mean?

But I may end up storing a lot of pictures, and don't want to mess around. Is there a script or class, that is as simple as storing in a database, that will handle possibly millions of pictures, and given a picture will return the URL where it is stored? I suppose I could build one myself, but I can see it being quite difficult, with problems such as maximum number of files in directories etc. I have had a look at a few PHP pages, but cannot find anything suitable. Any help would be great. Have a great Christmas.
