eroc8785 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hello I am new to the forums and this is my first post A little about me, I have played around with php time to time but don't know how to code it, I can modify it and use scripts and what not but I can't find a script that I wan't to do this I wan't to be able to upload and file share site without using mysql and using cookies instead to keep track of user's upload's without having them to register a account, I don't want a user management system for this I just want them to be able to upload a file and it keep track of their upload's(I can set a limit of course), and be able to share the direct link to their friends for them to quickly download it. I need to know what steps I need to do and how to start basically and if anyone can help me out. Thank you PHP Freaks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258736-help-with-my-new-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpd Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 What your asking is a little "dreamy". To manage downloads effectively you need some sort of database to track everything. Granted it isn't required but definitely recommended!

AyKay47 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 So you don't want to use an RDBMS and you want to somehow use cookies to keep track of user uploads. Sounds terribly inefficient and I don't see it working. How will you separate each users pictures if each user does not have a unique id? Where will you store the images?

eroc8785 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I want something similar to Filehold.net but with added stuff and what not for my own personal use. Check that out. The site is down at the moment it seems to always be down for some reason this is why I want to make my own like this Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258736-help-with-my-new-project/#findComment-1326394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy_Funster Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 surely there is a fundemental flaw in wanting to base a new site on one that is always down... quick question though, if I use your new site using cookies, and I delete my cookies after every logoff, do I then also loose access to my files?

cpd Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You just hit the nail on the head and hammered it in one blow Muddy. @eroc - Your best route is to use a RDBMS or ORDBS (although there's no great need for it). Don't try and manage everything through cookies which may get destroyed.
