Hiya.
Yeh sorry I should of mentioned, using an upload script. And then I
shrink them (or grow) using GD.
I understand I could give everyone a directory, but everyone would only
have one picture, so a waste of time.
What would make more sense, and to ignore the limit on number of items
in a directory, is to have directories like a-z and directories inside them
of a-z till there can be over a million stored. And then create a random
combination and try and place it in one of the root directories. Is there a
sctript that organises huge numbers of pictures in directories?
Also everyone logs in using there email address, not a username, so I
would prefer not to have to give them usernames!
THanks,
Steve
