Drag and Drop

I am trying to create a document store that will allow people to upload
documents to a website by dragging and dropping them on a certain
section of the webpage. Further, I would prefer that the documents be
kept directly in the mySQL database as binaries.

I have been told you can do this with ASP, can it be done with PHP?

I don't see how you could do that. You're talking about a client-side
effect, when both ASP/PHP run server-side. Either could be used to
receive the document, but you'd most likely want something like a Java
applet on the page to drop onto.

That's simple enough, although I prefer to save files in the file-system
and store a reference in the database. I find it faster that way.

You really need to read the problem carefully before suggesting a
solution. The question is regarding uploading files by dragging them on
to a browser.

This is not possible without an ActiveX control or Java applet, and even
then you'll run into lots of security issues.

JavaScript (Firefox only):
http://straxus.javadevelopersjournal.com/creating_a_mozillaf irefox_drag_and_drop_file_upload_script_p.htm
Java: http://radinks.com/upload/plus/applet.php

Google is My friend, at least.

I think the one to go for is Java since it should work in all browsers.
Users would have to approve the applet before use, but that's no big
deal, right?

Saving binary files in a database is hell. It really is. The speed is a
lot slower, keeping the future in mind it will also be easier and moe
maintainable if they were actually saved as files rather than in the
database itself.

Upload the file. Save the file name, id number (auto_increment works
well here) to the database. Move the uploaded file to your files folder.

This dramatically decreases the size of your database, and a huge speed
increase will take effect, no matter what size the files are.

I think Dreamweaver ( from Adobe ) has a "Timeline" animator, that has
the capabilities you are looking for. (Javascript)
