[Solar-talk] Blob 'server'

[Alex Stoneham]

BTW Solar is a pretty robust framework, in my mind its real advantages are leveraged when you have a complete and non trivial application to implement, and while suited to do your task in this case, you may have the overhead of learning the framework and familiarizing yourself with the packages at a high expense for little gain if this is all you will be doing with it. 

You may want to try looking at some stand alone classes in phpclasses.org. It may be you are not looking for a software framework but 2 specific sets of stand alone classes access control and file management. (Or you may find two separate recipies in an oriely cookbook)

I do like solar though and if you havn't built the site that your image uploader is going into, consider solar as the framework to the whole site.

Blob 'server'



 
 




Folks, 



Anybody done anything where they need to provide a binary image to users with some form of authentication/authorization format? Basic standard CMS type thing where you need to store documents or images or some other binary data and only certain users should have access to it. So you need the controller to do a standard authorization check and then pull the data from somewhere to serve back up? Have you done this with solar (is there a standard component for this? It'd be great if there was.) My plan was to store them in the database as clobs(which i know isn't a solar type but was planning to the model to have one column like that) and then make sure the view or controller sets the type to other than text.
