[Offloading Photos/Videos to other sites]

Hello there

 

I am making a website for a client who wishes to offload media storage to other services, and I was hoping I could get a bit of advice in regards to this.

 

1. Images

In terms of websites such as Photobucket, Flikr, etc – which would be a good option, so far as not having limits on the number of images you can host, and having a good, straight-forward PHP API?

 

2. Videos

Youtube seems the only option here. I've been reading up on the Youtube Direct API, and I'm wondering if anyone knows any places which summarise it or explain it clearer, as their documentation appears to be all over the place.

The requirement is pretty simple, just allow a user to upload a video and store it's identifier in the database for embedding.

 

Cheers

PS. I hope this is the right section.

[Enabling exec() For a specific user]

Hello.

 

I wish to have exec() and other functions globally disabled, but is there any way at all, whatsoever, to enable it for a specific user?

I've investigated the php_admin_value in httpd.conf option, but it seems that it doesn't apply for 'disable_functions'.

 

 

Thanks.
