Re: building web album - design questions

1. Store images separately with pointers in the database. It permits faster database queries. 2. 3. int imagecopyresized ( resource dst_im, resource src_im, int dstX, int dstY, int srcX, int srcY, int dstW, int dstH, int srcW, int srcH) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anders Thoresson" <listor@thoresson.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 2:20 PM Subject: [PHP] building web album - design questions Hi, I'm planning to build a web album for my digital photographs, and have some questions regarding the design: 1) Is it better to store the images within the database, or just store pointers to the images which is put outside, in the filesystem? 2) At log in, I want to show to which albums new pictures have been added since last visit. For performance reasons, should information about last added pictures be added to the database, or is it ok to make a MySQL-query each time, comparing the add-date for every picture in every album with the users last log in date? 3) If I've understood things right, there is functions within PHP that can handle picture resizing? Is that correct? Best regards, Anders Thoresson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
