Maknib Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi guys, im just trying to work out an app in my head and on paper. im just wondering.. when a user registers they can choose an Avatar 100px by 100px jpg, when they upload one would i then grab the file and store all Avatars in a avatar image folder and rename it to something like.. avatar[user_id].jpg and keep them all in the same folder. or would i crate a folder called users, each user gets their own folder with files like avatar.jpg and it finds the [user_id] folder and pulls the avatar out from that, or is there a more prefered method? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickOldCar Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Make a field in a database for the user,save the path/image name into the field. Make a central folder for avatar images. So when the user uploads their image you can then delete the old image if wanted, maybe let them use external links if wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickOldCar Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah is always so many ways to do something. For my site I let them upload any image they want and I created a thumbnailer and also bmp converter. I show them in a max determined size of width to height of what I set the display I want. Can see a few results here: http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/thumb-create.php?size=200&rotate=0&text=Quick&textsize=6&textcolor=aqua&crop=1.1&bordermargin=0&borderwidth=2&bordercolor=silver&imgsource=http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/images/1292136471-lightningquick200a.gif or http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/thumb-create.php?size=200&rotate=0&text=Quickie&textsize=6&textcolor=aqua&crop=1.1&bordermargin=0&borderwidth=2&bordercolor=silver&imgsource=http://get.blogdns.com/dynaindex/images/1292137389-quickswingeddemon.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
