Creating HTML form that allows image attachment

stanwaka · January 22nd, 2008, 07:51 AM

Hi guys. i'm new to web design so i need a little help. I've been working on a website that needs a form. I undestand the basics but i need the page to allow the user to upload images when they send the form. i have read some articles online but i'm not clear how to do this. any help would be fantastic as i am a bit of a noob.

Thanks

You need server side scripting to do that!
What language do you know? ASP/PHP/.NET? I know the ASP way...

If you're new to all this, let me introduce you to your new best friends:
Google - the Gods
W3Schools - the teachers
I Google'd file upload php and found this.

This is going to be your long day mate...

Spinal gave you the PHP way and you SHOULD know how to handle PHP page!
If it is ASP, it is totally different method

I referred him to PHP because it is a million times easier and doesn't require components or someone else's complicated code... With a little reading he should be a'ight
