It presents information from a database as a filesystem in +a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used +(originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as +"Artists," "Song Keywords," etc... I have since applied it to a student +roster database very easily). The directory structure is stored in the +database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database +structure beyond the table it requires to run. You can find it at: + +http://www.css.tayloru.edu/~elorimer/databasefs/index.php + + +Any feedback would be appreciated: comments, suggestions, patches, +etc... If nothing else, hopefully it might prove useful for someone +else who wishes to create a virtual filesystem. + +Thanks for the great product and keep up the good work. + + +- Eric Lorimer + +------------------------------------------------------------ -- cgit
