This has been debated to death; check the archives. Although there are passionate arguments for both approaches, I *think* that the consensus for general applications where you don't have a specific reason to put them in the DB is to go with the filesystem -- but, then, I'm also a subscriber of that camp :-) % % Thanks, % % Matt % http://sweetphp.com/ HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
