    Hiya,

    Got an image hosting and it seems the images expires after a certain period of time. How can I make it so images never expire?

    http://www.imagegrip.com

    I know it's a bit vague but just need a bit of guidance what code should I be looking in my php files?

    Cheers

    Well you could be looking for a constant that determines the expiration time or looking around in the database assuming it uses a database for registration and holding constants.

    Yes it uses a database to store all images etc.
    Any idea what constant I should be looking at in the database?
    Sorry I am total newbie in this area.

    Thanks

    The value may well be in the database, or a seperate php file (perhaps config.php or somesuch? Maybe in an "includes" directory) which holds a lot of defined variables used throughout all the php scripts.

    I'd imagine it will be located in a file somewhere, that's the most straightforward way of storing variables anyway.

    You'd probably want to edit a variable with "Expiry" or "lifetime" or something like that in its name. Also look for variables with a value equal to the lifetime of the images on the site
