- Creating Image Archives
- One of the easiest things that you can do is re-use what you already have invested in artwork
- The best way to encourage that is to organize them, and make them easily viewable
- One of the best ways to do this is to organize them using a database such as MySQL, and then display them through a web site again using PHP & Apache
- MySQL is a full-fledged relational database; one of the variety of things it can do is hold images as "blobs", information held without being massaged
- Along with the image, you can stick in any given information along with it, like file type, name, size, and any other metadata you want to add.
- Then, for simply accessing the files for upload and download, you can use PHP and Apache to create a front-end to the system
