image upload

[[email protected]]

Hi,

I have a two databases. .db1 is a contact database, .db2 an image database.

in .db1 i have a container that displays images from .db2.

I want to be able to create a new record in .db1, and upload an image into .db2 using CDML if possible.

can anyone suggest a way?

thanx

Here's how I'd do this (you can feel free to do what you choose though)

- Remove images from databases, and reference via a field with the filename stored in it instead. Storing images in your databases GREATLY slows them down for web access, as the server needs to page through the entire database when searching, including all the images, even if it doesn't need to use them.

- I'm pretty sure CDML doesn't include any HTTP upload capabilities. We offer the WebStar File Upload plug-in with our services, which I'd then use to let the user upload files to the directory with the images. Other ISPs may vary as to the ability for file uploads or not.
