I need a push in the right direction! Can somebody help me please?

I am fairly new to php, asp, db design. I have access to mysql and it seems
to work just fine with the tutorials I try out.

I am currently finished with the front end of this site I designed for a realtor
friend of mine. See here http://debrasnowcentury21.com I feel its pretty decent
for my third site I've done.

Now, she wants more!...Typical woman...lol

She wants to be able to have a html (form) user face that she can upload pictures from
and be able to update regularly.( in other words something like a jpg. or jpgs. of a home a
brief description that is also editable. Then have it automatically plug into the
proper location for the site user to view like a featured_homes.html. This is a great Idea,
that way I don't have to be her advertiser and update her pictures every other week!

Any suggestions?

Thanks newcomer

Chuck1

PS. This is by far the best forum I've ever stumbled across!!!

You'll want to have a HTML form that links to a PHP script which uploads the pictures. The PHP script would need to upload the pictures and then probably create an entry in a database where details like a description could be stored. You'd then want to create another PHP page which could read the database, displaying the pictures and the descriptions.

Thanks Edwin!

When you say a php that can read the database, what exactly should
I look into to sharpening my php skills? Would that be an array, or a parse code or?
Do you know of any good tuts for something like this?

Thanks again for the tip, I will focus on using php for this project?

There's a few articles on this site - have you run a search for "upload"?
e.g. http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/...d-Script-in-PHP

For reading the database, just search the Internet and you'll find plenty of guides for using PHP with MySQL databases. For example, this looks OK for telling you how to read a database:
