Support for PHP

Update 22 feb 2012

Over the last couple of years I have been using NFileStorage for probably every project. I recently started to implement services in PHP (Wordpress) too and immediately felt the urge to use NFileStorage (PHPFileStorage ;) there too. For those who are interested in the PHP implementation please drop me an email. You can contact me via the email address which you can find on this page: http://nexusstudios.nl

Summary

Update 5 june 2010

As you might have heard Google has introduced Google Storage. When watching the video today (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLbRvcbkAwE) from the Google I/O 2010, I found out that the concepts / basics of NFileStorage are very similar to Google Storage. When I have time, it might be very appealing to upgrade NFileStorage to become compatible with Google Storage; thus, the end-user might have the option to choose to push data from a local filestorage to Google Storage, and to use NFileStorage to operate with cloud-storage.

Description

NFileStorage is a project (100% managed C# code) that enables software developers to easily handle large amounts of data (pictures or files in most cases) in your project without using a database and without having to store tons of individual files on the file system. It also ships with a CLI tool that enables command prompt access to all features.

Key reasons why to use it



Current status

The FileStorage's primary features have been implemented and work stable. Take a look at the picture below where you can see a screenshot from one of the other projects I am working on (prijs van een huis) that uses NFileStorage. This screenshot shows a web application that uses a FileStorage that is filled up with 150.000+ photos consuming over 700 MB of picture data. In the browser we can see a subset of the items that are streamed in realtime directly from the storage to the client's browser. The filestorage takes care of all the plumbing for us and nicely bundles all files in an organized way.
