Photo Album Creation

[sinistapenguin]

Hi All

I have a client who wants to start a website where people in lots of locations are able to log in and upload photos, then have them viewable in an album.

The thing is the users aren't going to be over technical so I am trying to identify some way of doing this simply.

Literally I would like them to be able to open a page, click browse to the location of the file, click Upload.

Then be able to go to the 'Album' page and see the files they have uploaded. If it could be done so that there are thumbnails in the album too, that'd be fantastic.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

Sinista

sinistapenguin, well to begin with you're going to need some kind of a server side language and a dB.

The general logic goes:
1. User chooses the pics to upload from their hard disk
2. The code will check:
a. That the file being uploaded IS an image and not some other extension (like .exe)
b. That the image is between a certain size. You do not want users uploading an image that is 20MB in size.
c. That the image name does not cause any name conflict and throw errors.
3. The image will ber placed in a folder on the server, and the location will be saved in the dB.
4. You then query back to pull all images uploaded by that user (you can keep track of the user via a userid or a username)
5. End
