Hi

What is the best way to enable users to upload photos to my website? I know HTML and some asp but i`m open to other scripts....

Cheers
Rob

I have encountered this dilema before and it was easily solved by visiting HotScripts. My advice would be to use a PHP script, assuming it is installed on your server. If you do decide to use PHP you will need to look in Upload Systems or if you want a script that manages your user's photos as well as accomodating their upload try Image Galleries - but make sure it does include that vital upload feature.. ;)

Hope that helped..

If you find tutorials easier to understand, try this link:

PHP Freaks explain everything perfectly, I can't put anything againgst them.

Dont forget to check that the script is allowing *only* picture data for upload. Otherwise, you create a huge security hole on your web server.
