Dude... No one wants to see you naked!

well it's an idea... upload scripts make me nervous though, lots of room for security issues and filling up the server etc... maybe someone can suggest a good bit of (php) code to nick?

Re:hello tim

ok, there's not /that/ many of us, how about having a space on the page for pictures, and we email you our picture and you decide if it's too big/pornographic or not and put it in the right space if it isn't? ;p

Re:hello tim

with php you can limit doctypes so that only pics ae uploaded

Re:hello tim

i meant as in link to a pic not upload one

Re:hello tim

Linking to a picture as actually worse, as it wouldn't be hard to put a picture there that boinng wouldn't necessarily want to link to.

Tim, if you really want an upload / picture rejobbing script, let me know what version of PHP you want it written in (I'm assuming you want a PHP script. Python isn't a problem either) and I'll sort one out for you.

Re:hello tim

i forgot all about this... is that script still on offer?

Yeah. Gimme a day or two...

Re:hello tim

Et voila!
Script and associated HTML.

That bug testing took longer than I expected. Plus, it'll need some work to actually integrate it with boinng. It should, however, work no problem under imh (if you do have a problem, check that the 'uploads' subdirectory has the appropriate write permissions. I think it should have...)

[edit: now performing pointless tweaking and neatening. It'll be in a working state when I save it, honest.]

[edit2: Play with it here, view the resulting picture here - but please don't abuse my only server machine]

It's only a year later, but already I'm halfway through integrating this script... should be up and working in the next day/week/year
