hey, i need to write a script to upload files to a given directory along with some labels (i.e. name, category etc) and then provide links to the files on a downloads page on my site. Anyone know of how I can go about this? I googled for php uploads but they all are just simple uploads and they do not deal with the linking to the uploaded materials. File types will include .doc files, images and possible xls files. Would appreciate some help with this!
 
thanks for the help guys. This is for a uni project so it wont be going live so permissions maybe aren't necessary at the moment. As long as I can upload files into a folder il be happy enough!
Cheers

yeah but remember though, you will not be able to upload files into the folder without changing its permission to 777 like someone has said already. even if its not going live may be worth sauying this for more makrs? dont know how unis work.

can i ask where and what course you are doing and what year? i should be getting into uni next year and i know all this stuff and a lot mroe so lil bit boost of confidence that im gonig to get in and do well if this is what you're learning. hope that made sense

im doing a computing science degree at a uni in Northern ireland. We were not taught PHP once on the whole course. First time we were taught javascript was 4th year! Most of the stuff I picked up I taught myself. Decided on php for my own project so that i could get a wee bit of experience in another language.
