Arno,
I'd like to stop you right here and ask you a question. It goes to
overall architecture.
I notice that the facebook I spend way too much time on is written in
php. Am I correct to think that the images and vids we see on fb are
accessed through being in that database?
I ask, because with my current toolchain for uploading images to the
net, I have to create a new, unique directory every time or risk that
the content simply be there for the hacking.
What I want to do is use my web domain to show photos and vids just like
any other site can. Heck even the nra can do it. This is how I promote
the projects I'm working on.
