The probability of a hack on my images directory DF> is extremely low, but it *does* exist of course. "Performance" is a very subjective term - are you putting this site on an overloaded shared box that might frown at such hammering of its MySQL server. Or are you hosting on a dedicated machine that has enough processing power to start the next cold war? You will of course hit performance issues, but the scale of them depends on factors outside of PHP/MySQL. I personally would investigate an alternative location to store them. -- Best regards, Richard mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
