I'm fascinated by the "my way or the highway" content this subject tends to generate! lol
I decided to store images for our in house dating site in the file system. My consideration was the bandwidth of the db handling images. We store about 1000 images currently (from about 4000 registered users). I also took this approach with a high quality (eye of the beholder?) photo share site I wrote (and dumped) a couple of years ago (which held all images in original format as well as thumbs), and am currently doing the same with shopping cart applications. Works for me :-) Jenny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:224946 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
