image hosting script
How do I upload file to the website I do …?
Hi all … I have a practice with html / css and was wondering where I can learn to write that script will allow people to upload pictures / comments to my website? The goal would be for people to upload photos appear in my pre-determined format. I was looking into using godaddy.com to host and I believe they support ASP and Cold Fusion which I think is necessary (?). Any help would be appreciated and safety tips should great as well. Thank you!
The majority of free hosts will not allow you to do. Only your own server and domain. ASP and Cold Fusion are not the best way not. ASP is because, based on the windows servers (which have enormous disadvantages in comparison to Unix servers) and is not a very well-maintained product from Microsoft (with the large amount bugs are never resolved). Cold Fusion is a WYSIWYG IDE type, which drags you in deep grief once you try to do something complex (and login, upload the images are regrouping not easy functions either). Buy your own domain (NOT Godaddy, but a serious provider domain) and rent a LAMP server ($ 100 / year is no big deal). Armed with that you have PHP and MySQL: you're ready to do what you want. Google for php scripts for file upload. Analyze them with a simple text editor (Notepad + + free) and understand how uploading files is created, then customize to your needs. You have a fairly good knowledge of Javascript, PHP and MySQL to achieve your goals. (you can certainly try with ASP and Cold Fusion, but I promise you serious headaches!)
