Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble here. Im a total php newb, and all attempts to customize the following script have failed. Horribly. The script gives this form (http://thefunklounge.com/comicz/post.php). See how there's two sections. The top is for news posts and the bottom is for naming uploaded pictures. I only need the bottom part for naming comics, as I use something else for news posts. Now my dilemma. I looked at this big chunk-0-code, but I don't know how to isolate the part that gives me the comic name post thingy from the rest of the code so I can delete everything else I don't need. None of my friends know php and I couldn't track down the original author, so here I am. I hope someone can help me.
