I was wondering how I could get this to happen:
1.) Users upload files to my site
2.) After upload, the site is instantly updated With
- File Name/Title
- Category
- Person's nave Who Submitted file (no registration needed) or just Annonomous for the name
I was thinking of making an animated greeting card place, where people could send animated greeting cards to other people in a variety of different categories:
- Birthday
- Anneversery
- New Baby
- and what ever else I can think of
Possibly as you saw above, I don't want users to sign up, but to just be able to upload files, and if they want have their name displayed (First and last Name, Just First Name, Just last name, Or no name). This would to be able to give the person credit for what they have done. To help keep files under control, I would like to have a "Report File To Moderator" or something like that, where I can review the file and decide wheter or not it should be deleted.
The format of the upload page wold have text feilds, a browse feild, and drop down menus, and the submit button, a fairly simple format.
A big question that I have is do I need to have a MySQL Database to do this? Could someone help me get started, by explaining this and to help point me into the right direction. As of now I am new to the PHP and MySQL world so help would greatly be apreciated.
