thanks a lot for your reply. Actually i am a novice to GAE. I could not understand your reply very clearly. Is there a difference between "DataStore" and "Cloud DataStore " ?
my requirement is that i need to retrieve an image ( for eg: profile photo of the logged in user) quickly at run-time. I learnt that this was possible by storing the data in Datastore. In the Datastore, I am able to store strings (for eg: username, address, etc) using php remote api of the php app engine ( basically using the second link that you have sent ). Basically I have created an entity in the datastore and the entity has fields called "name", "address" ,etc which are of string datatype. I was wondering if I could store the image of a user as well in the datastore by creating another field with suitable datatype for holding images and access the images in the datastore with PHP remote APIs ? Is such a thing possible ? It seems to be possible with python and java (but I have not actually tried it out ) but with php i could not find any solution. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot again !
