Kingy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't want to put you off and I really do encourage you to continue out learning web design/development BUT - and it's a huge but - trying to create the next ebay/craigslist will be near impossible. It would still be extremely hard if you had a lot of money to sink into it. Doing it will little to no money and hoping to 'make it big' will result in not much.

rvca_skateboarding Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 yeah i have looked at some tutorials but i cant seem to find one that can teach me how to make it so people can post stuff on my website any suggestions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well to point you in the right direction.. start looking at how php and html forms interact. Learn how PHP uses POST and GET variables. From there you can create a simple form which allows the user to fill out the form and then using the file form element you can upload files to your server. Without getting into databases you could then learn how to list directories with php and then display images in order of created/modified date to achieve what you would like.

trq Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 You should be looking for tutorials that teach you how to program, not how to do some specific task. Once you you know how to program, and can think, you wont need tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irate Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 O'Reilly's PHP Pocket Reference and php.net are blessings after you figured out how to program in PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
