How can others upload pictures to my site

I would like a page where people can upload images onto my site, on a regular basis. This is new for me, so could anyone help me out here? Thank you !!

Re: How can others upload pictures to my site

That’s kind of a tall order for a beginner. Basically, you need two things:

1) A page with a “multipart/form-data” form that has a “file” input to send the file.
2) A server side script that “captures” the file.

If you want to do this yourself, you will have to learn about HTML form submissions and CGI or server side scripting (ASP, PHP, Perl, etc). Or you can use search engines and find scripting sites (some will charge you).

And don’t forget the security ramifications of a script like this. Make sure you read about making a page like this as secure as you can (password protection, initializing/verifying all variables, etc)

Or you could just teach you and your friends to use FTP and be done with it!

Better still why not just register for the Bravenet Photo Center?
