Sure, the exceptions rules :).

I am not sure about your answer. The article where you pointed me does not go against 
what we said, and show the different solutions we have to manage binary datas.

I must precise that a path can be an url, this url points to the other server and do 
whatever you want there (except store images in a db ;))) ).

In most cases I meet (mysql, pgsql and oracle), the filesystem methods were faster on 
Linux and Solaris systems. Anywhere I did not say you do not have to store binary 
datas in DB. Sometimes it is usefull.

but :
"The primary advantage to keeping files in a MySQL database over keeping them in the 
local file system may be the ability to separate the database and Web servers onto 
dedicated hardware. The PHP code above can easily open a connection to database server 
on another machine."
And this primary adv falled down with URI ;).

Maybe yes, maybe not, just test it yourself on your prod systems and do your best.

Not really, the OS filesystem contains features that makes it always faster than a sql 
query, that will increase your network traffic too.

Inserting images or whatever binary data in a database does not have much sense, you 
could not do a query with this field, cannot be indexed (dunno if exists a DB that 
implement a image indexer ;) ). Storing relative pathes gave me always more 
portabilities between DBM.

In some case, you have to insert images (or every others binary data) in DB (due to 
global permissions system only avaible for the DB and not for the filesystem, for 
example), but as far is possible, I avoid to do it so.

IMHO :)

Try to heavely charge a DB with images inside it.
Do the same without DB, that depends if the dbms is in another server or not, note 
localhost server can use the network interface and not the socket.

then compare the two methods, and use the best :).

Tests are always the best way to get the best methods :).

Cached ? Client side ?

I tell more : MUST be treated as readonly, as for every env/server or whatever
you want you dont have a control on it.

Feel like it was not updated on the building host. PEAR should be
1.3.5, I do not remember the other, but the script should be
updated.

Take a look at pear::cache or pear::cache_lite and pearweb. pearweb use
cache_lite to cache whole pages (when possible). To cache part of a page
(or whatever). pear::cache is maybe easier to cache function calls (ie
the function that generates the menu). But cache_mite is damn fast and
can work with function calls too. See the support page on pearweb, there
is links to tutorials.

Cache in db? sounds not that good :)

That is how cache* work.
