Ok here we go! I want to have a text box in which the user can input a url for a .jpg, .gif, or .png. I want it to download it to a certain folder and rename usbr0001, then usbar0002 ect. Then check it to be a valid image, and make sure it is in a certain size range. then i want a script on a certain page that will look up how many file (??how should i store this number??) pictures are save and display them, next to a checkbox, say, 100 per page. I want to somehow save which pics the user select(this will be helped out be another forum, one that is specific to the system of user profile that I am using just to let you know know that this will be done) Finally I need to create a function(in php?) to display a random 5 out of the the pictures selected by the users in a looping animation. Sorry that was kinda lengthy. So for the question, would some be able to give me an idea of what language to use for each section of that code, and a basic idea of how to do each(or one any that you know) thank you.
