[Solar-talk] Blob 'server'

[Alex Stoneham]

I will probably be doing the same thing with video uploads soon, so It would be nice to see how it was done... I just assumed you were Eyeballing Solar for the first time to solve a specific issue...My Bad.

Blob 'server'


 
DIV {
MARGIN:0px;}



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.
