Help with photo's

Hi everyone, first post

Im maing a website for someone and im all clear on that, but there is a problem i dont even know where to start with. THe person I am making the site for wants to update their photos on a daily basis. Rather than them having to change them by going into dreamweaver and swapping them, now could they do it.
I was thinking along the lines of a script that i add that they can log in and change various photos.

I hope this all makes sence, if it doesnt il rephrase it all.
If anyone has any links to tutorials or scripts or something i can use, i would be very greateful

Josh

Re: Help with photo's

What you want is an admin section that the can log into.

You'll need to use a server-side language like PHP, ASP (.NET) or Perl. Check with your host which they support. I recommend PHP since it's quite easy to learn.

There are tons of scripts out there. Have a look at Joe2torials.com for some.

Would it involve a large knowledge of php to create or install something alone those lines? Thanks for the fast reply,

Well ... it's not something you'll end up doing in a day! well ... maybe if you spend 24 h at it

There are alot of upload scripts out there and quite a few good tutorials too.

I noticed on your portfolio that when you click on one of the images (or roll over i cant remember) a box appears with a larger image in, ive seen this on a few sites. What is it?

So you can download this software and use it over and over, cos then it becomes an investment, and then becomes less pricey
Thanks ill look into it a bit more before splashing out £100
