[Deviatore]

Hey, I am new to PHP and only now in the beginning.I am making a website related to photoshop, animation and other kinds of tutorials website.The thing is that i want an application in my website by which any person can submit a tutorial.

You can visit my website here once but i have just started to make it:

www.pixelspedia.com

(Please refresh it once if u cant see it)

I want something like this:

http://www.pixel2life.com/publish/write/

Please if someone can help me then I am ready to return him the same as much as I can.

    for tutorial uploder you can use FCKEditor for content write..

    and before publishiing it.. it would be inactive status after approved via admin..

    public will be access it..

Here is a sample file to upload a tutorial in say "PDF" format. This example assumes there is  a Maximum file size. It then inserts the filename and title into a Database and uploads the file to a directory of your choice (make sure permissions are set for writing). The database will allow you to easily list your files. It is a good idea to follow the advice on the previous post not to make the file active by adding another field for approval (i.e. approved with values of 0 or 1 ) with the default being inactive.

 

There is probably more here than you need, but it is a way of uploading an existing file.

 

 
<?php

if ($submit) {

foreach($HTTP_POST_FILES as $value) { 
  foreach($value as $k => $v) { 
       echo $k.' => '.$v.'<br>'; 
    } 
} 
?> 
<?php 
// In PHP earlier then 4.1.0, $HTTP_POST_FILES should be used instead of $_FILES 

if($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] == '') { 
       echo 'You did not select a file to upload'; 
       } 
elseif($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'] == 0) { 
   echo 'There appears to be a problem with the file your are uploading'; 
       } 
elseif($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'] > $MAX_FILE_SIZE) { 
        echo 'The file you selected is too large'; 
       } 
elseif(!filesize($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {   
  echo 'The file you selected is not a valid file type'; 
     } 
else { 
   $uploaddir = '/usr/local/www/vhosts/Your_PATH_HERE/docs/'; // remember the trailing slash! 
   $uploadfile = $uploaddir. $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']; 
   if(move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { 
       echo 'Upload file success!'; 
   } 
   else { 
       echo 'There was a problem uploading your file.<br>'; 
       print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES); 
   } 
} 
?> 
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "YourUsername", "PASSWORD") or die("Could not connect");
$provridb = mysql_select_db("YOUR_DB_NAME",$db);

$name = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']; 

  $sql = "INSERT INTO tutorial ( title,filename,category, ) VALUES ('$title','$name','$category')";
  $result = mysql_query($sql);
  

  echo "Thank you! Your file was posted \n"; ?><br><br>
     <a href="add-doc.php"><span class="caption"><font color="#0033FF">Add Another Document</font></span></a>   |  <a href="logout2.php"><span class="caption"><font color="#0033FF">LOGOUT</font></span></a>    |   <a href="#">Go to DOC List page</a> (not active yet) <br>
<?php 
} else{

  // display form

  ?>
  
        <form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="docs" method="post" action="add-doc.php">
	<input type="hidden" name="category" value="env_doc">

            Upload this file:
            <input name="userfile" size="50" type="file">

                <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit File">
     
                <input type="reset" name="Clear" value="Clear">

          </p>
        </form>
      </p>                               
   <?php
} // end if
?>

The whole thing is very simple.

Just the need is that i want to provide the user features like bolding the text, adding images, just like when u post something here, u have smilies, font change etc. and at last when it has to be published, it gets published in some format.
