Re: Image Question

I'm putting it in the database because it's easier to handle that way, my site doesn't get too much traffic so it's not that big a load, and the files are usually between 2-8k which is tiny and the server should be able to handle that. Anyway, I have to resize the image because some of my writers don't know the first thing about image editing and can't resize the image themselves. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Emery" <remery@excel.com> To: "'Jay Paulson'" <jpaulson@lbjs.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 5:19 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Image Question > First, why store it in a database?
