Dreamweaver upload button

[zeyhra]

Posting on behalf of work:
We're in the process of creating a web page for our customers to automatically upload artwork to us. We'd like it to be a button that allows them to navigate to the location of the file on their hard drive (whether on a Mac or PC), then select the file and click another button to upload it (like it is set up for the Members Photo Gallery). We have an FTP site, and we have an email address that allows files up to 5MB. We're not sure how to go about creating the link in the first place, or where it should be told to upload the files. Help would be very much appreciated. The page in question (under serious reconstruction) is http://www.thunderpress.net/GUIDES/GuideNew.html

Thanks
Zeyhra

Hi there,

the gallery uses php, that one file is a 650 line script.

There are lots of different ways of doing what you want. Heres one tutorial.

Your main area of concern should be security, what ever script you choose/write needs to be safe so that 'executable' files can't be uploaded.

If you click on the 'upload photo' button in the gallery, and then go to "view source" in your web browser, you will see the code required.

As you can see it's alittle complicated !

I would be tempted to have a search around and buy/freeware a "upload file php script"

regards

Ric
