In this scenario, it would not matter where your images were stored, however
it would be a simple matter of hot swapping one of the raid drives.

4GB is big enough for any sane image
Kind regards

...a lot of stuff started by my original answer...
[/snip]
While this has been a fine debate I find that the discussion has
deteriorated badly. Can we bring it back on point?
There are a lot of us using MySQL (and PostGreSQL) along with PHP and in
practice we have found that storing images in the database to be less
than ideal from both a performance and backup POV. The reasons range
from speed to overhead to ease of use. On our hardware. It not only has
to do with storing and retrieving BLOB data, but also things like
indexing, OS qwirks and the like.
Kevin, you have more than once pointed out using a RAW format for
operating the data system, what exactly do you mean? The database
becomes the OS? If so, how do you set that up? It is something that I am
not totally familiar with. If you are talking about RAW photo data I am
familiar with that.
As far as backup, I have a routine that backs up my databases AND the
images, PDF's, DOC's, and other binary file format items that the data
system points to. That wasn't hard to set up, and it is very reliable. I
never have a problem with integrity.
And finally, benchmarking. There would be three benchmarks to be
conducted and concerned with here, as I have stated before;
PHP and images in the OS's file system
PHP and images in the MySQL database
PHP and images in the OS's file system pointed to by data stored in the
MySQL database.
Usually only two are compared.

I don't think you can draw a line. There's black and white and a lot of
gray in between and that gray zone depends on the person, how they feel
on a particular day, etc etc etc. If we want to get dirty with the guts
of this argument many people on this list are asking PHP questions that
will advance their own commercial applications or services. While I
think a Zend specific question isn't quite a PHP question, I do feel
that some of them fall into the gray zone.
Cheers,
Rob.

Hello,
I have a button flash file. This file needs two parameters that are passed
in through the query string.
Here's my query string.
navButtons.swf?myURL={$menu_channel_id[menu]}&buttonLabel={$menu_text[menu]}
here is the URL that is being passed in
domain.com/index.php?c=21&a=35&w=2&r=Y
the ampersands are making flash think these are separate variables to pass
into flash. Is there a way to make flash send in the above link as a whole
without chopping it up into several separate variables.
I would use some other method besides a query string but, I really need this
to work with it.
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks,
T

urlencode the url ...
echo "navButtons.swf?myURL=",
urlencode(domain.com/index.php?c=21&a=35&w=2&r=Y),
"&buttonLabel=ClickMe";
chances are you will have urldecode the value of myURL inside the flash file
in order to use.

Hello again,
I Use session_write_close() so the page loads quicker because i use
session on multiple place.
This because session has protection for race conditions.
Now it works very well and i don't have any problems at all.
I only see that there are multiple session cookie headers set.
I Personally think that one is enough :P.
How can i make it so that it just sets just one and not set this
header every time i call session_start or session_write_close.
Because i don't know when the cookie is set.
I think this will be an either/or situation.
Either it only sends one session cookie header and you don't use
session_write_close all over the place..
or, it sends multiple cookies and you do use session_write_close all
over the place.
The internals of php would set this behaviour, not something you can
change without changing the C code.
Hmmm...
I find it kinda strange that it sets the same uniqueId with the same
session name more then once.
It would be logical to just have one.. And overwrite the previous
session cookie.
Any other thing would be an programmers fault in my opinion.
Because you can't have more then one session id per session cookie name.
Also, the browser won't send all the cookies back.
This is just useless overhead.
But it seems that i have to live with it (for now).
I think ill report this as an bug to PHP.
Doubt you'll get very far.
I could open 10 tabs in firefox and I'll have the same session id in
each one, but they'll all be on different pages doing different things.
Even in IE, if I open a new page I'll get the same session id in both
browser windows.

When you use the mail function in Linux, it uses sendmail or compatible.
In Linux, all MTA are compatible with sendmail. Sendmail is already a
queue system. There does not seem to be much point in duplicating a
sendmail function that it already does better than PHP could. PHP will
certainly will not override your ISP limits.

I created a form where users can upload.
I'm working on the section where admins can delete entries.
When I have a user delete an entery, I have it taking out of MySQL
(working fine)
But how do I delete the file that was uploaded?
Thanks for any help
