RE: [PHP-DB] mysql + php

James, The consensus of developers here seems to have been not to store binary objects in the database. Rather store them in the file system and simply store reference records in the database. It is much easier this way. If doing it differently is not an option for you hopefully someone else on the list has done this. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure most of us haven't even tried since it is so much simpler to store them in the file system. Hope this is helpful. <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Will Contact [mailto:willcontactme@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 1:10 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] mysql + php hi!
