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

I have encountered this dilema before and it was easily solved by visiting HotScripts (http://www.hotscripts.com). 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 (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/File_Manipulation/Upload_Systems/index.html) or if you want a script that manages your user's photos as well as accomodating their upload try Image Galleries (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Image_Galleries/index.html) - 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.
