AEllerbrock Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm building a website in which the user can upload 3 photos of the same product (from different angles). what i want is that the user only selects those 3 iamges, writes a description and when they press upload the system creates an album named "1" with the 3 images in it. the next time the new folder name will be "2" I tried storing them on a mysql database but i read it makes it too heavy and the queries take longer. so i'll just save the path there. thanks!

litebearer Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 do your users have a unique id in your database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEllerbrock Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 no, its a client who stores photos about his products and i have to show it on my site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litebearer Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 how many different products from each client/user? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbones Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Does the client Log In? I would suggest that you create a folder for each client in your image folder. Then create a new unique name for the image (be careful of collisions). Maybe a random string, then hashed. Insert the file name into the database, tying it back to the user's table. If you put 3 images into each folder, that would create a mess of folders, I would keep them all in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
