photo gallery

[ladymara]

hi
I'm trying to get together a photo gallery for my group
lol and failing miserably

I want it to act like a guest book,
they upload images to the gallery page
saves me a bit of work and space on my personal puter

my domain uses c-panel and already has a cgi-bin folder and I don't want to alter anything scary until I'm sure of what I'm doing lol

I already have the form set up for upload, going to a html page on my server in a folder that allows world access, but now I'm stuck lol

pls help if you can

...and with what are you stuck...?

[ladymara]

lol I don't know where the images are going! hehe

I dont' know how to set it up that the images write themselves to a specific file

[CyCo]

is your upload script...working?

[ladymara]

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="hmgallery/hmgallery.html" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="location.href='hmgallery/hmgallery.html';return false;" webbot-onSubmit>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is our photo upload page.&nbsp; You can upload images from your
computer to put on our new gallery!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Have fun!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><input type="file" name="F1" size="20"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

that is the form I'm using, I have no idea about an upload script but trusted frontpage that that should be it

Right now it looks like it's uploading and goes to an empty page

first of all...you'll need to use an upload script. This will be the action used in the form to transfer the images to your server. You can find many free upload scripts here:

k took most of the day lol but I finally got the upload script done and working properly so what's the next step?

[ladymara]

That is to say that I have finally got the upload to work, and the files are uploading to a folder on my domain but now I would like to know how to get them to show up on a page like a gallery.

I will figure out how to put them into categories and add comments at a later date, but would really like to have them show up on a page for all to see lol
