Re: Images in MySql

Hi Xon, Some options i can think of. 1. Can u change HTTP write permissions yourselves via telnet with chmod or chgrp? That would be the simplest if possible. 2. If you have to store in MySQL, storing in the file system gives better performance. But storing in MySQL is not so bad. 3. Consider switching Web hosting companies. There are more responsive companies out there. I can recommend futurequest.com. I host there myself. Regards, John "PHPWIN" <phpwin@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OE69cK8r6beUzmRf6Ci0000149f@hotmail.com... Hi there I was wondering if anyone knew if it is a good idea to store gifs, jpegs or swfs in MySql. The problem is that the server I host my site on doesn't give HTTP write permissions and has disabled FTP functions in php. I would like to allow users to upload images and store them locally on the server. Any ideas? Thanks Xon
