[Zope] advice needed

[Jim Kutter]

I'll probably get shot for this, but a pure filesystem and MySQL
implementation is better suited for PHP. If say, you wanted to store the
image info in the ZODB, and the data elsewhere, then Zope is a good
solution. Another nice thing about Zope you don't get with a language like
PHP is much better managability of the presentation code. If that's
important, then again, Zope is the way to go.
