It's not so sensitive :) It's just one of those questions that pop''s up a lot. And some of those discussions were pretty heated.

I think I'm gonna dive into the archives then. To see for myself what left such a scars upon that subject.

i guess, i have to prepare my oxygen tank to dive into the archives. i am quite curious to find out what happen about this..

Happy diving.

Well, bearing in mind I only have experience of MySQL, the general consensus is to save it to a file on you hard drive and store the file name in the database. If for whatever reason you can't or don't want to do that, then at least store it in a separate table that only gets touched when the image is requested. -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv
