I am planning an extension to my website that will be based on a template.
For the sake of argument let's suppose that the page caters for 5,000 clubs. While the general layout and options can all be based on the template, I want to put each clubs logo on their own page. I realise that there are two methods, either store images in a database or in a file and call them from a link in a database. Assuming I am uploading all the images, which would be the simplest solution. I use dreamweaver 8, mysql and php.
I can see that if they were in a database, putting them onto the page would be easy but uploading them would be difficult.
If I used a file based system, uploading would be easy but I don't know how to get them onto the page.
Your thoughts please.
