ok I have a dilema, I am working on a project that requires mass image upload.
The project (as i can't provide to many details) has items which requires some input from another person. The items may have multiple images attached with the content the user enters for that item
Their idea behind making this process much easier (since there can be multiple items that need content inputted along with multiple images per item) is to create a log file (using the tmp name) and once the user has inputted all content and images for the items to then once he hits submit to loop through that log file and upload the tmp images and save the info in a database.
The Server which the website will reside on is a inhouse server with a DSL connection 1.5MBPS download and 384K upload
Now since to me this connection would be to untrustworthy to upload all of these images (could be up to 70) the scipt should loop throught the log files, and once a image has been moved out of the tmp dir, then we erase that tmp image from the log file. do this until all of them are complete. (they want it as easy as they can for the user doing the content entering).
They want to user to not have to sit there while the images are being uploaded
What are your thoughts on this?
What are your thoughts on the connection speed?
Any suggestions into making this work in a better way?
Thanks!
