Hello PHP group,

I looks like this is a good forum to ask my question. I am using both
PHP and MySQL.
I would like/am designing a photo database for the web - not heavy duty
- not complex, like menalto Gallery, etc. My idea is to use PHP and
MySQL. I would like to store the images in the MySQL database, and
display them using PHP. I would like to have a table with thumbnail
images, that when "clicked" will link to a veiw page that will display
a larger version of the thumbnail.

My guess is that the thumb nail will be around 200px wide and 250px
high (or maybe less , in the 100px area). I figure I will have the
larger image at around 800x600 pixels, at 72dpi.

I have some basic code that puts the image(s) in my database, and can
call the image using a view image.php page.

I do not plan to fully automate this procedure. Perhaps i will
automate the thumbnail creation (netpbm, etc).

Any suggestons the newsgroup might have on this basic design, etc will
be quite helpful.


thanks,
