Post by: Smokey on September 04, 2006, 09:06:08 PM

Well, most of you use www.upload.arena-zone.com (http://www.upload.arena-zone.com) for uploads. Right now its using a flatfile upload system, mini file host. Im coding my own using mysql and figured that i should ask what features people think i should add in.

Feel free to name some  :D

good idea,
 also the song.


What about a file reconizition, like for .mp3's it plays them and has a download link, same for .wmv and .wav

For images it displays them and has a download link.

For other files it just downloads them.

Flatfile is less prone to errors, and I hope you don't plan on storing the files in the database itself.  Despite the term database, storing the actual file data in the database is a bad idea.  It's better to just use for indexing purposes.

I was not strong enough today. This TDWTF has broken me. I'm going to find a cubicle, and sit down and cry.

No, files will be stored in a folder, with some $rand()'s. Mysql will just keep track of bandwidth, uploader and password/description.
