Storing Photos

[bharanidharanit]

Hi,
I am developing application like Social Networking. I want the users to store their avatar and photos. I would like to store their photos only in filesystem. When the user logins, the user corresponding avatar and their albums must be displayed. Any ideas?
Thankyou

handling file uploads. change the filename after uploading (when you're storing it, using move_uploaded_file()) to the user's ID, or something else unique to that user.

I want to create a seperate folder inside the root directory for each users after registering to store their avatar and photos. suppose if the username is user1, i want to create a folder inside the root called user1 and inside that folder, again 2 folders named avatar and photos to store user avatar and photos respectively. Is this the good one?

well, you don't have to make a bunch of directories; you could just prefix photos with a string illustrating what it was: user1_photo_[name].jpg, for example. you could use directories if you want, though, it doesn't really matter I guess. you'll have to use mkdir() to make the user's directory, and then make the two sub-directories after that. this would all be done during registration.
