Just to illustrate how you'd go about doing this: - User uploads image & description - You resize image with GD functions (look at imagecopyresized()) - Store URL and description to the mySQL table you made
It's a very simple thing to do once you organize your file structure where you're going to be storing the images. To retrieve them, you just need to know the image's ID and query based upon that. From there, you can access the image's URL or caption as you need. You can very easily create a script to display the images by querying the DB for X entries and displaying them per page. What you're basically describing is the functionality that MANY blogs have. You can probably find some free scripts online with a minimum amount of searching. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Frank McIsaac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 12:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Resize pictures and store with MySQL Hi. I want to use PHP and MySQL to help make it easier to put pictures on a website. What I want to do is make a page that allows the client to submit a picture (or a bunch of pictures) and a caption for each picture to me via a form of some sort. Then, once the file gets here, I would like it to resize the photo to a preset size and store it with it's caption. Is this possible? If so, is there also a way to get php to dynamically design a web page with each of these photos (complete with their captions) on it? I am using PHP 4.2 and MySql 3.23. Thanks in advance for any help.
