consideration the connection speeds. for example, i have i have a 512
cable line...download but only like 124 upload, so if lets say the zip was
75 mb it would take a bout 45 minutes to upload, ouch
if u do it this way u will need to use a db that supports transaction and
make sure u REALLY use them.
also another thing i have noticed is that some ppl who dont know what the
are doing with pix save them as progressive jpgs which really mess things
up. or they save them in photoshop which also is a disaster..
if u do it the way u say u will also have to make some scripts to
dynamically make the upload foldersand set read, & write permissions.
i have no idea how to do that.
you should maybe look at the MM site and the flash remoting tuts, maybe
something there
