[quote] im no pro [/quote] Isn't that the definition of an amateur?
Anyway, I think static was the wrong word for what he was trying to say. Perhaps a better way of saying that is that your code isn't very flixible nor does it scale with the application. Any time the required number of images increases, you (or someone else) have to go back into the code, find out where this functionality is, and then add more code. When coding for something like this, you need to make sure that it can handle *any* number of images with grace, rather than taking the client's word for it that "it will always be three images, I guarantee it". Anyone's who worked in consulting knows that there's no such thing as a guaranteed spec for clients. -----Original Message----- From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 5:56 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to add images to my db the *right* way? [quote]I have to agree with Joe. The first method suggested seems kind of amateur-ish. If there will not always be 3 images, then this method is definitley NOT the 'right' way'. Why create a dynamic application the uses static values like this? [/quote] what the hell are u talking about? u say my way uses static images? getting info from file fields the last time i can recall isnt "static", joes example used "static" images why dont u actually look at my code and u will see exactly why it wouldnt crash if the image count was less then the available fields. im no pro but please know what the hell ur talking about before u call someone "amateur-ish" (i learned that the hard way lol) joe is a great coder who i respect but we were talking about 2 completely diffent parts of the process ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX with Flash Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=51 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:190152 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
