How to create an upload option for site visitors?

Question

Web-Design...

I am building my own site, I do not know fancy code, I want to add an option to my site that will allow customers to upload their own photos to ME. This is a website for photos and photography, An important part of the website is giving my customers the option to upload their photos directly to me...since most visitors dont know how to scan their photos, I want to make it easy for them.

HOW do I do this? how can I put this option on my site?

does anyone know how to create an upload-page, an upload-option for a website, the way I am in need of it?

Also---does anyone know how to make pop-ups from an image? I want a few photos on my site to pop up into the enlarged photo....

i.e. you click on a thumbnail, and the thumbnail pops up into the enlarged image......how do you do this??

thanks

Answer 1

Simplest way is to use a PHP upload script (that's for the server).

On the client side you just a basic HTML form, or if you want it to have a progress bar and some of the niceties that modern uploaders have, you can do it in either Adobe Flex (that's the language of Flash) or in Java.

Check those 2 links for Flex+PHP examples.
