creating a form to upload images

[philo351]

I'm new to game here and I'm wondering where I begin to learn how to make pages that visitors can upload images onto. How do I do this?

there is alrdy built programs that will do this for you and especailyl if u have large image folder instead of writing large html script for images it just reads in the folder and writes images into thumb nails for you, im pretty sure they all come with ability for ppl to upload their images to ur site

Use PHP. But first check to see if it is installed on your server, simply create a new document and call it info.php and place this small script in it

PHP Code:

<?php php_info(); ?>

and upload it to your server and view it from your browser, if you see a whole bunch of information then PHP is installed. Then, visit www.php.net/manual and have a search and a decent read, as well as do the www.w3schools.com PHP tutorial

well php is definately the right script to use. I created the document you suggested and uploaded it and no information came up, so I guess php is not installed on the server. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction there. PHP is the next thing I need to focus on.

The spec: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1867.txt

If your host allows any kind of server side processing then you can find an implementation.
