customer uploading to site (not cms)

[catfish]

I have just had an inquiry to build a new site and I will briefly describe here what the client wants. The web site will be sort of a directory for accomodation in a certain area where people can pay to list their own. That person I guess will have to pay and then upload their own image (size will be specified) and brief description. My question then is how do I build the site for this? For starters is there scripts to have a browse and upload button? and then how will that image and description be placed in just the correct position? I hope this clear enough. I have no programming skills and no PHP knowledge (yet) :confused:

Start learning PHP.
One of our members has written an image uploader (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101466)
You will probably also need a Rich Text Editor (http://geniisoft.com/showcase.nsf/WebEditors), the use of which is given on the sites.
Each customer could have their data loaded to a separate folder, so you would only have to scan all the customer folders and insert the contents into the document.
Then there's the method of payment to consider and probably a database integration.

It's a big ask for someone with no programming skills. Your best option would be to hire a professional.

Yes that is what I figured. And yes the PHP is on the list. Thanks for your reply.
