Images is the file system is ready. I have to do the refining of the code now.
I need to decide a few things.
The main script will run in DB mode or FileSystem mode. How we will choose which is the question. Right now I'm thinking an edit to the main script. A vbgconfig.php is an easy option too.
There will need to be a path to the files and a file prefix set. This is so each of us can have a unique path to our files and sorta hide um. I'm currrently storing the images in a folder set 777 above the web root folder. This too can be a hard edit of the main script or in a new vbgconfig.php file.
Do we want to gz compress the files? This could add over head. The files will need to be ungzcompressed on a retrive and then most likey just gz'd again if we have gz compression on for the site enabled which most of us do.
Moving existing files from the DB to the FS is no problem as far as I can tell, however if anyone has a comment on this it would be welcome.
Please give us feedback on this so we can have the best of the features we need.
