Upload files

[wentwooddownhill]

Hi,
I need help, im trying to get a script that will allow me to on my site have an upload button which would be for pictures and.or videos. It would then upload the files to my server and show the files on another page. A kind of youtube type thing but not that big if you get me.

The presentation of this may require some javascript and/or flash, plus likely plenty of HTML and CSS, but to get this system going, you need a serverside language and (most likely) a database.

PHP and MySQL are a good option.

PHP allows uploading from an html form, then file management on the server, and connecting/manipulating the mysql database to find/search/order/etc. the different clips/images.

You could avoid using the database, but this would create a more simple system in which you could just, for example, show all of the images in a certain folder, rather than storing specific data about each.

Here is a good tutorial site:
