Text and Images

[forumnz]

Ok, I need to write a script but I have no idea how to go about it.

This is what needs to happen:

 

Person goes to upload.php.

Person browses their comp. and selects images.

Person writes a code (bout 5 chars long) next to each image.

Person clicks upload.

 

Another person goes to images.php and automatically every image uploaded to a specific directory is displayed along with its unique number below it.

 

How can I go about this?

Very simple example - but it's a place to start:

I mean like a special code that identifies that image. So code might be cri_123 and that would be specific to a certain image.

[JSHINER]

You mean like an image name - in that case, you should set the file to save as that name also - so if image1.jpg is named as Photo_2 - it will save as Photo_2.jpg. Also make sure to have it check to see if the image "code" is taken already.

A cheap and cheerful way to do this is to use the uniqid() function to generate, um, well, a unique ID.

[JSHINER]

But do you want it as an ID - or as a "title"? Do you want images named as "01040194" or "My_Kids"

View attached script

I think this may help you abt 50%.

By the way the script is for image resize. but also have some validations you need.

I basically just want each image to have its own unique code. I like the first idea. Now how would i get it to pull all the images from a directory and display them?

[JSHINER]

The way I'd do it is when uploaded - store the name in a database (but be sure to give the uploaded image that same name - then run a query which pulls all names and displays as the following:

 

<?php

foreach ($page['name'] as $z) {

echo '<img src="', $z['name'], '.jpg">', $z['name'], '</br>';

}
	?>

 

Of course there is more to it - but in terms of displaying them, that is the basics.

Wow I am officially confused. Help?

<?php

 

foreach (glob("imagedir/*.*") as $filename) {

   echo "<img src=\"".$filename ."\">";

}

 

?>

Step 1) Create your "upload" page which will:

 

    a) allow a user to choose a file from their computer

    b) have a field to name the file - "name" field

    c) upload that file - giving it the name of the "name" field

    d) write the "name" field to a database

 

Step 2) Create the "view" page:

 

    a) Run a query on your "names" database and pull "names" from it. Example:

SELECT name FROM names_database

    b) Use this to display the images / names:

<?php

foreach ($page['name'] as $z) {

echo '<img src="', $z['name'], '.jpg">', $z['name'], '</br>';

}
	?>

 

Enjoy!

 

P.S. - Be careful when allowing users to upload images - make sure you set the extension to only allow .jpg / .gif - also, file size may be an issue if you are on a shared server.
