auto change XML file

[tyhoerr]

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible and how difficult it would be to code the following scenario:

 

Firstly, I have an upload system implemented into my website already.

 

I'm using the SimpleView gallery on my website. You put a photo in the images directory and add an entry into the gallery XML file.

 

Example Entry:

<image>
<filename>Imagefile.jpg</filename>
<caption>Caption 13</caption>	
</image>

 

What I want is an easy way for members to upload their own images without having to manually change the XML file.

 

Basically the page will have a Browse field for the image upload and a enter caption field. Then a submit button to make it all happen.

 

How can i code the page to add an XML entry based on the file uploaded? If it'd be easier to use a specific file uploading system, i'm open to that too.

 

Thanks!

The question is if you want to add a "caption" field to the database you can generate this on the fly and make it so the user can easily pull the xml for a picture with something like make_xml.php?image=Imagefile.jpg  which would then display a valid xml file for that picture.

 

You just have to use headers to set the content-type to be xml compliant etc.
