Uploader scripts for MP3 files

[lyndad]

i'm trying to find a script that will allow visitors to my site to upload mp3 files -- it's for a songwriting competition. i'd be happiest if the songs could be then mailed on to the administrator, but if they went into a folder on the server, that'd be okay too. Maybe better that way???? i'm a bit new to the whole thing. i've found scripts that upload Jpegs and such, but they turn MP3 files into text. Please help?

You might want to check

http://www.cpan.org/.

In case you have not heard of CPAN, it is the Comprehensive Peral Archive Network that has a Perl module for just about everything.

I know that Lincoln Stein has written a module that allows you to download MP3's and I am sure with some reverse engineering, you can find how to upload them.

You might also want to search there for a module that does this.

Also, you might want to invesitage using PHP to do this.

If you are not familiar with PHP, you can find much about it from

http://www.zend.com

or

http://www.php.net.

http://www.zend.com

has many sample scripts on how to upload things, and I am sure that one of them will allow you to upload MP3's.

Hope this helps,

There are two faqs in the Perl forum about uploading files. See faq219-406 and faq219-352.
