Ah, this is where the entire problem has been poorly specified. I don't recall the original poster's size specs -- or even if they were specified. But I don't believe anyone has mentioned files of this size until now. My tests were specifically for "webbish" images, with a 200kb upper limit, enforced by my uploading code. I take that image, re-size to three standard sizes: thumbnails that fit within 96x96 pixels, medium- sized images that fit within 256x256 pixels, and roughly browser-size images that fit within 640x640 pixels. The biggest ones are seldom more than 100kb, and the thumbs are almost always under 3kb each, with many at 1.5kb or so. I would agree that if the goal is to store quality 8"x10" printable images, a different mechanism might be called for -- or at least more testing! But that was what I was getting at -- there is no One True Way(tm). Those who are content to do what others say is best without analyzing their own needs are headed for problems. :::: Having the last word is the final refuge for those who never had a good point in the first place. :::: :::: Jan Steinman http://www.VeggieVanGogh.com :::: The php_mysql group is dedicated to learn more about the PHP/MySQL web database possibilities through group learning.
