Simple PHP, Perl, or ASP script needed....

FSNet · Jan 3, 2003

This message is for anyone that knows PHP, Perl, or ASP. I run a small aviation website www.FlightSource.net and I am looking for someone to create a small script for me. If you check out this page http://www.flightsource.net/pictures/ you can see what i need. I need a small text or mySQL database to store airplane photos in. if you leave the photographer box empty and click search you will pull up the 5 files i have in the database already. It is currently a flat text database and I can't seem to be able to have the capability to allow others to upload photos. I have tried a script or two, but im too stupid to figure it out.

I would like to have a script in any language with the same layout and either a flat text or mySQL database. Please let me know if you are able to do this!!!

Thanks!
Sincerely,
-John-

I don't think what you are looking for is a database to store your images.
Your probably looking for a database to store the image information: filename, size, location, etc.

Youd be better off storing your images in a directory rather than a blob field in a database.

What your looking for is quite easy to implement.
The only caveat is that your image directory will have to be "world writeable." Yikes!

Does your DB have an identity field? - i.e. recordid

If so, just name your images according to the recordid (as it's unique).

Then in the case of VBscript ... you can do something like this:

<img src="images/<%= recordid %>.gif">
