[Solar-talk] Blob 'server'

[Kilbride, James P.]

The application is already in solar. this piece is just a small piece of
the larger application which is why I don't wnat to simply use some
standalone classes unless necessary. I want it to use the same
authentication/authorization stuff that the rest of the application will
be using. I know I CAN do it in solar, question is has anybody else
already done it(so I can cheat) or have ideas on the best approach, like
Paul's suggestion, that has worked for them in the past.

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.

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.
