Photo sw for my PHP/MySQL site?

Want to let users post photos with their reviews

One of my sites allows users to submit reviews about products. I want to give my users the ability to upload a photo with their review...and then I'd like to display the photo(s) when the appropriate product pages are dynamically generated.

Does anyone know if the free photo galleries out there (e.g. Coppermine, Gallery, Snipe Gallery) can be modded to do what I need? Many of the photo products seem to focus on giving users the ability to manage galleries...I just want my users to submit a few photos that I can link to specific products in my db.

Hopefully someone can save me the effort of installing and messing around with each of these products.

Many thanks.

Hi!
there are many free php/mysql scripts for photo galleries and photo uplaoding in general. however, what u need is not complex and you might think about doing it yourself with a bit of coding and some changes to your database.
I dont know how ur site is constructed or how ur database is arranged but I can give u some details of how doing all this if u give me more details...

Thank you both for your replies.

dreamcatcher: that's a great link. I'm not a PHP Ninja just yet, but I think I can stumble my way through most of that code.

I'll repost if I can't get it working. Thanks again...this should definitely save me a bunch of time! :)

Many CMS systems (in fact most) have "review" modules that you could either use off the shelf or perhaps hack for your purposes. Whether or not that's helpful depends on where you're at with your current site (i.e. how hard would it be to integrate with a CMS).
