PHP - Avatar Help

 Hi guys,

im just trying to work out an app in my head and on paper. im just wondering..
when a user registers they can choose an Avatar 100px by 100px jpg, when they upload one would i then grab the file and store all Avatars in a avatar image folder and rename it to something like.. avatar[user_id].jpg and keep them all in the same folder.

or

would i crate a folder called users, each user gets their own folder with files like avatar.jpg and it finds the [user_id] folder and pulls the avatar out from that, or is there a more prefered method?

cheers

Hi i have a chat written in php and as3
at the moment the chat window shows username and message but i want to add a avatar before the username.
here is the code i have.


$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM chat75 ORDER BY date_time ASC");
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
       $id = $row["id"];
       $user_name = $row["user_name"];
       $chat_body = $row["chat_body"];
      $num = $row["avatar"];
       $date_time = $row["date_time"];
       $chat_body = stripslashes($chat_body);
        $chat_body = eregi_replace("'", "'", $chat_body);
      $string =array();
$files = glob("../images/avs/*.*");
for ($i=1; $i<count($files); $i++)
{
   $num = $files[$i];
   
   }
        $body .= '<b><font color="#006699">' . $num . ': ' . $user_name . ':
       
       <font color="#000000"> ' . $chat_body . '</font>
        <br />';
   
    }

this is what i get in the chat window

../images/avs/avatar9.png: demo123: testing message

i have tried everything to get the avatar to appear in the chat window but keep getting the above,i have tried to put echo in front but then just get a blank chat window.
please help
thanks

Any way, for the comment system for users, I want it to show their avatar as well, which is stored in the users table. How would one do this.
