How would you go about having like an upload form, a person uploads say a picture or something else, and then it adds the link of where it uploads into the sql and then displays the link on a page?

Its just for somehting i want to try work on, staff will upload it and it just shows on the page.

Thanks if you can help.

its basic mysql usage. i dont know if you wanted a script (if you did, you should just ask). read up on using mysql and then read up on uploading files.

heres where you should start: http://www.pixel2lif...showtopic=21991

Na not a script because I would rather read through tutorials and simpler ones so I can learn it myself instead of just uploading something and it working, thanks for the link.

Well, you're on pixel2life so after reading this post you'll have to use it's search function.

To upload an image, save the link in MySQL and then display it on a page, you need to do three things:
- Upload an image
- Save the link in MySQL
- And then display it on a page

(duh, Wybe). So, you need three tutorials for those (or two, maybe just one). I'm sure there are tutorials around that tell you exactly how to upload an image, and there's tutorials that tell you how to insert data into mysql. 1+1=2 and soon you only have displaying a link on a page left to do, which is also not very hard (actually the easiest part).

I'm sure you'll manage from here.

1+1+1 = 3, the three you needed

awesome thanks both of you, the only problem with searching was, I wasn't sure what to search for, seen as most uploadig tutorials I have seen don't do anything with a database, so yeah thanks you two.
