My Goal:
I want to create a image gallery site that people can sign up to and upload some of there things to. Sounds simple to some but not to me. I understand to complete this I have many sections to look at. I've been running around google looking for examples and reading about this function and that but still am not getting it completely. Ok so let me try and explain it this way.
I want to create categories for images to be uploaded to. I don't want the images to be uploaded in a database just the folder/file locations. The file I want to stay on the server in a folder. I want to be able to have people sign up and upload to these folders, but lets say someone just wants to see some users stuff then they can pick that user and it would show their images. I also would like to have it to where you have to register to download any images from the site. I bet most are saying this is a big project, I agree...lol! Here is some of the problems I'm not getting.
1. How to do the categories and upload images to folders and store path in a database.
2. How to allow people to upload to those folders.
3. The downloading part
4. of course have an administration backend for this as well.
The biggest problem I'm having is trying to understand some of the examples out their, and some tutorials don't even help out. If anyone could me some pointers on how I can do this, or some places I can learn how to do this would be appreciated. I want to do this myself, just still learning with difficulties.
Thanks all! :)
