www.jpgimage.co.uk started off as a simple app and somewhere i could
upload a screenshot to without the need to fire up a ftp app .
Over several months it gradually grew as i added options to it .
While you can of course install a script that somebody wrote - the fact
is its never going to look or do exactly what you want it to do .
So , What you could do is start from scratch to get the uploader to work
and to display the image , Then learn as you go by adding various
options to it .
The first thing to learn being how to automatically create thumbnails
using the image you just uploaded .
BTW: the jpgimage.co.uk website doesnt use mysql - and its all done with
flat files - so despite what you might think - you dont need to use a
sql database if you dont want to .
